Sexually Transmitted Infections STIs / STDs Game | Digital Health Lesson 8-12

It’s time to teach STIs/STDs and safe sex in a way your students will remember! This Google Slides + printable sexually transmitted infections activity provides high school students (and upper middle school students) with all the information they need about each STI, including their symptoms, treatment, transmission, and most importantly, prevention. All this is presented through a game with hand-drawn illustrations to help your students clearly remember each one.

Using their printable worksheets or the self-guided Google Slides lesson, students play the classic game of “Guess Who?” In pairs, they take turns asking questions like, “Is it a virus?” or “Does it cause sores?”… etc. OR they can play Guess Who alone using the google slides trivial which makes it even harder. Either way, this activity is FUN, INFORMATIVE and hard to forget. + This isn’t just a game of memorization; there are critical thinking slides, research questions on testing, and discussions on the importance of safe sex as well as abstinence.
