Guidelines for the FLUNKtory!
Making Good Choices on Flunk Day
Make Sure YOU Have a Safe and Enjoyable Flunk Day!
Don't Be Like AUGUSTUS!
He over-indulged and just couldn't stop himself! He ended up having to quit early and couldn't finish the tour, which meant he missed out on all of the other wonderful things! He also put his safety at risk because he couldn't slow down.
This Flunk Day, make sure YOU pace yourself so you can enjoy the whole day, not just the beginning. Also, by not over-indulging, you can STAY SAFE.
Don't end up like Augustus!
Don't Be Like VIOLET!
She thought it would be harmless, because she has chewed gum before. However, she did not know what was in this gum, and she had a bad reaction! She could have remained safe by taking time to learn the ingredients and the possible side effects!
This Flunk Day, make sure YOU are safe by not taking or using substances that may have adverse side effects! Keep in mind that substances do interact with medications and known and unknown medical issues!
Don't end up like Violet!
Don't Be Like VERUCA!
Her self-interest put her in danger because she was unwilling to see the risks of her desires. Her lack of care for others resulted in everyone being happy she had left the tour! If she had been more helpful and caring, she may have made friends and focused on having fun, rather than her greed.
This Flunk Day, make sure YOU are kind and caring to others! If you see someone in need, assist them or go get help! Reaching out to others will also better help you enjoy your day!
Don't end up like Veruca!
Don't Be Like MIKE!
He was so consumed with video games and tv that he couldn't focus on anything else! His difficulty to unplug from technology resulted in him being consumed (or shrunken) by media! Had he put technology aside for the day, he could have better enjoyed the experience!
This Flunk Day, make sure YOU take a break from technology so that you can be mindful of the fun going on around you! Don't let technology take away from your day!
Don't end up like Mike!
Kind of Be Like CHARLIE!
He and his grandfather went behind Wonka's back, which was unsafe! They didn't think it was a big deal, but the rules were in place for a reason: SAFETY! Although he made good choices overall, one bad decision almost ruined everything!
This Flunk Day, make sure YOU make good choices and follow the rules in place! By doing so, you can ensure the safety of yourself and others.
Don't be like Charlie because one bad decision can ruin everything!
