Stage 3 - Rapids and CanoesActivity Overview1 MinuteActivity Rules4 MinutesThis activity is an adaptation of the popular children’s gameSnakes and Ladders, which was created in ancient India.40 MinutesWe have adapted the main ideas of Snakes and Ladders to providean opportunity to practise using a population health lens tounderstand the factors that contribute to HIV vulnerability andresiliency among Aboriginal peoples.The process of the game and the opportunities for discussion aremore important for our collective learning than is being the first toreach the 100 th square.There will be 5 players on the board; each player can be an individualor a small team to accommodate different group sizes.Players will take turns rolling the dice to see how many squaresthey can move forward (maximum of 6 spaces).If you land on a square with the top of a rapid, you slide down tothe square at the bottom of the rapid and are given a Vulnerabilitycard with the story of someone in your community who may beexposed to the HIV virus or who is currently living with HIV.If you land on a square with the bottom of a canoe, you climb upto the square at the top of the canoe and are given a Resiliencycard. Resiliency cards describe a characteristic or quality of yourcommunity that promotes the health and wellbeing of communitymembers.Whenever anyone lands on a rapid or canoe, we will stop for adiscussion. We will use one of four frames to analyze the card:• Individual: The thoughts, feelings, needs, and actions of maincharacter.• Family: The relationships, dynamics, and communication amongthe characters.• Community: The relationships, support structures, and infrastructureamong the individuals and family members.• Systemic: The overarching structure under which communitiesmust exist, including large systems such as education, justice,and health services.After the activity, you will have the opportunity to further examinethe information in the cards.Facilitator’s Note:This activity is intendedto encouragedialogue among theparticipants that broadenstheir understandingof the factors that influencepeople’s decisionsabout sex and drug use.You should be preparedto ask questions thatencourage participantsto think critically aboutthe issues and dynamicsthat are raised, and toraise key issues yourself.The Facilitator’sNotes on VulnerabilityCards (pages 28-44) andFacilitator’s Notes onResiliency Cards (pages47-56) highlight keyissues within the cardsand provide questions tohelp stimulate discussion.Facilitator’s Note:Prepare yourIssue ExplorationTree in advance (seebox 2).

The cardsdo not provide exactanswers but ratherencourage participantsto draw on their individualand collectivewisdom to understandthe issues.21
