Name that Contraceptive

Test your knowledge about the contraceptive methods! The object of the game is to guess the contraceptive with the fewest number of clues. Each of the 12 contraceptives has 4 clues associated with it, from hardest (#1) to easiest (#4). During their turn, each team will “bid” for how many clues it will take to guess the contraceptive. The fewer the clues—the more points they win! Teams also have the option of playing bonus cards that test their knowledge even more. This game is great for anyone who has ever had sex, thought about sex, or knows that sex exists, so that they can review the most common methods of contraception.

The game was developed by Dr. Martha Rosenthal, Professor of Physiology/Neuroscience at Florida Gulf Coast University. Dr. Rosenthal has taught human sexuality for two decades and has published and presented on the use of educational games in the classroom. She wrote the textbook, Human Sexuality: From Cells to Society.
