Teen Talk’s “Sexual Jeopardy” Game
Goal:
To have fun while educating and reinforcing information learned about sexual health
topics; including STIs, HIV, birth control, condoms and consent.
Have Ready:
Sexual Jeopardy game board pieces (see following pages)
Sexual Jeopardy questions and answers (see following pages)
Poster size sheet of card stock for attaching the game board pieces (optional)
Tape for posting game on the wall
Prize(s) for winning team (optional)
Instructions:
Divide the group into two teams and have them choose team names.
Decide which team will go first. Tip: One way to decide is by getting them to guess a
randomly chosen number between 1 and 10 that you have in mind.
Have the teams take turns choosing a category and points value, and answering a
question.
Keep score on a chalk/white board.
Encourage each team to huddle and work together to come up with the correct answer.
Tip: If one team guesses incorrectly, you may want to give the other team a chance to
“steal” if they know the correct answer.
There is no need to ask every question, the game can be as brief or extended as
needed.
Tip: You might play a final “Bonus Jeopardy” round where each team chooses an
amount of points to wager. See “Prevention 20” for an example bonus question.
