Relationship Timeline Educational Board Game

Teenagers today live in a world where they are bombarded with sexual images in the media, but given little guidance on how to navigate a sexual relationship. The Relationship Timeline Educational Board Game helps students over the age of 11 to learn about choice, control and consent in a classroom setting, helping them to form strong and stable relationships later in their lives.

Providing Full and Extensive Sex Education

Young people frequently act in a way they think is expected of them, for example, to have a sexual relationship. However, because sex education mainly concentrates on the biology of sex, and often ignores the emotional aspects, many teenagers are unaware of the psychological involvement that accompanies a sexual relationship.  

What Are the Goals of the Relationship Timeline Game?

The aims of the Relationship Timeline set are to:

• Raise pupil's self-esteem and confidence in their relationships
• Help pupils understand their sexual feelings and behaviour
• Help students develop the skills of decision-making, choice and assertiveness
• Help students to develop and use communication skills when discussing personal topics
• Develop assertiveness and discernment to cope with the influences of their peers and the media
• Respect and care for their own bodies and emotional wellbeing

Cater the Game to Different Groups

The Relationship Timeline offers a unique opportunity to carefully consider which activities might be appropriate (or inappropriate) during which stage of a relationship. Up to 30 activity cards can be used, and a teacher or leader can hand-pick which cards are most appropriate for a particular group session. The cards cover a wide range of behaviours but are not exhaustive, so students may suggest ideas that they can write on the blank cards provided.

What Comes With the Relationship Timeline Board Game?

This educational set contains:

• 1 x A3 playing board
• 60 x Informational cards
• 1 x Instruction book on ideas for use

Encouraging Thoughtful Decision-Making

Effective sex and relationship education focuses on the development of skills and attitudes, not just the acquisition of knowledge. Using this game, teachers can help students establish the skills needed to form secure relationships, such as learning how to respect other people’s emotions and feelings, make good choices, and resisting peer and media pressures.
