How to Choose Slogans and Rhymes for an Anti-Drug, No Tobacco and No Alcohol Handwritten Newspaper

Most students freeze because they do not know what words to put in the middle. This article walks through four steps: pick one main slogan for the headline, sort short slogans into warning, action and growth groups, use four-line rhymes in narrow columns, and fill the rest with small facts, real situations and a promise card.

Direct Answer

For an anti-drug, no tobacco and no alcohol handwritten newspaper, three to five slogans are enough. Put one main slogan under the big title, then turn two or three more into small labels for each section. Sort them into three kinds: warning slogans about harm, action slogans about what to do, and growth slogans about where to focus energy. Four-line rhymes with even length fit narrow columns and cloud frames best. Sketch the sections and slogan positions first, then add short facts and real situations, so the page looks full without feeling crowded.

Start with one main slogan

The most common problem with this kind of handwritten newspaper is a beautifully decorated border with an empty middle. Before drawing anything, write one main slogan on scratch paper. It sets the tone for the whole page and helps you decide which materials to use.

Keep it to eight to fourteen characters if you are writing in Chinese, or one short line in English, and place it directly under the big title with lettering twice the size of the body text. A slogan that can be pictured is much easier to lay out.

Two questions before you choose

Is this line written for classmates or for adults? Lines for classmates should sound natural and spoken.
Can this line be paired with a simple drawing? If yes, it will be easier to arrange.

Three kinds of short slogans and where they belong

You do not need many slogans, but sorting them gives every section a clear job.

Warning slogans explain harm, for example one try can cost you for years.
Action slogans explain what to do, for example say no politely when a stranger offers a cigarette or a drink.
Growth slogans point forward, for example give your spare time to sports, books and friends.

Put warning slogans in the harm section, action slogans in the what I will do section, and growth slogans in the closing promise section. Readers then follow one continuous idea from top to bottom.

Four-line rhymes for narrow columns

Rhymes fit vertical columns, cloud frames and scroll frames nicely. A group of four lines with even length looks neat and is easy to copy. Keep each line short and read the whole group aloud once. If it sounds clumsy, change a word rather than forcing the rhyme.

For a very narrow column, use pairs of short lines instead and tuck them into corners or beside the border.

Section names that make writing easier

Section names are part of the design. When a name is specific, the text writes itself. Try these:

How Much Do You Know: effects of tobacco, alcohol and drugs on health, study and family.
Rumour Breaker: answers to ideas like one drink is fine or trying once will not matter.
What I Will Do: refuse, leave, then tell an adult.
My Promise Card: a small space for your own promise, signed and dated.

Add one or two sentences and one short slogan to each section, and the structure of the page is complete.

Layout: keep the slogans visible

Let the big title take the top third of the page and centre it.
Place the main slogan right below the title with one blank line in between.
Turn smaller slogans into tags, bookmarks or round signs and scatter them in the corners of sections.
Use vertical columns for rhymes and horizontal blocks for facts and situations, alternating so the page can breathe.
Save the bottom right corner for the promise card as a natural ending.

You do not have to stick to red and black. Dark blue with warm orange is clear and easy to read.

From what I know to what I will do

Slogans alone feel empty. Turn each one into a short scene:

Situation plus action: someone offered me a cigarette after school, so I smiled, said no thanks and walked on.
Action plus follow-up: when the person kept pushing, I left first and told my parents or teacher at home.
Action plus reason: I want to spend my curiosity on the court and in books, not on things that pull me down.

Quick check before you hand it in

Do the title and main slogan repeat the same words?
Is at least one sentence about a real action instead of a vague slogan?
Is there enough white space between sections, or is text touching the border?
Are your name, class and date written on the page?

If drawing borders and planning space takes too long, you can open the WeChat mini program Smart Handwritten Newspaper, choose a drug prevention and no tobacco or alcohol layout, fill in your slogans and rhymes, print it, and then finish the details by hand. Finishing on time feels much easier that way.

FAQ

How many slogans should I prepare for this handwritten newspaper?

Three to five is usually plenty. Use one as the main slogan under the headline with the largest lettering, then turn two or three more into small labels beside sections such as Facts About Harm, What I Will Do, and My Promise. Too many slogans make it hard for readers to find the main point.

I cannot write rhymes. What should I do?

Start with plain sentences about what you would actually do, such as I will not take a cigarette from a stranger or I will walk away when someone pushes a drink. Then trim each line to the same number of characters and make the endings sound similar. If a line feels awkward when read aloud, change the words.

Is it too general to just write stay away from drugs?

Yes. Pair every slogan with a real situation, such as a stranger offering a cigarette after school, a classmate pushing a drink at a party, or someone online recommending strange candy. Writing down what you did and who you told makes the page much more concrete.
