Copying or Downloading the Game

This is Your Lifeline!

A Simulation to Teach about Cumulative Risk in Adolescent Development

COPYING/DOWNLOADING

If for some reason you are unable to print the documents listed below directly from your web browser (the best method), we would then recommend that you copy, rather than downloading (from "View: Document Source"), to avoid having the documents cluttered up with HTML codes. From the "Edit" menu, the "Select All" command (on the Mac, the shortcut is "Command key - A") will select the entire document's text. Choose "Copy," and then "Paste" into your favorite word processor.

If you prefer, the contestant descriptions are all in one document named "Contestants.html." We have also put together the life event tables, one document per round: "Round 1 Life Events," "Round 2 Life Events," and "Round 3 Life Events." If you are able to print directly from your web browser, however, you will most likely prefer to print SINGLE PAGES, because in this way tables and contestant descriptions will not be cut in half by a page break.

Single Pages
(best for correct page breaks)

You should copy at least the following documents:

The "life events" pages above (12-1 through 19-8) are not the ones linked from the Instructions page, and DO NOT have on them a copy of the list (in addition to the one on the Instructions page) of the steps in each round. To see the versions of these "life events" pages which are better for online viewing or playing, click on the links from the Instructions.html page.

The following documents may also be helpful:

Multiple Pages
(if in a hurry and don't mind tables being cut in half by page breaks)

You should copy at least the following documents:
