The picture can represent the beginning, middle or skit of the skit.

The groups can include more characters in the skit than depicted on the picture.

Each skit should not be longer than 5 minutes.

Each skit should incorporate a scene representing stigma based on the picture they are assigned.

Note: Remind teens to remain positive and respectful to all participants when getting input and designing their skits.
