Choose Your Relationship

• This activity is a part of the StreetSmart sexuality package. The package aims to give youth workers the tools they need to address the topic of sexuality in a playful way with the children and young people they work with, so they can learn to make conscious, healthy and respectful decisions. Sexuality is a very broad term, encompassing various subtopics. Here, you can find a list of all activities included in our sexuality package to address these different topics:

1. Sexuality in general: The Sex Alphabet, The Sexuality Goose Game, Yes or No Circle, Sexuality Statement Game
2. Body (development): Anatomy fundamentals, Who has what?, Physical changes in puberty, Emotional changes in puberty, Life Cycle
3. Boundaries: Stop!, People to People, Kiss the Teddy Bear, Body Carrousel, (Not) Okay?, Body Twister 
4. Relationships: Choose Your Relationship, My Ideal Partner, In The Worst Way Possible
5. Gender & sexual orientation: Labels, Sex Change, Who does what?
6. Safe sex: The Synonym Game, Condom Smugglers, Goodie Bag, STD-Roulette, Can I get pregnant?
7. Sex & media: Who is responsible?

• If you are a StreetSmart Wheels partner, you can use the sliding door panel to cover this panel and ask the players to open a window of each column.

• Role-play: Divide the players in 2 groups. Group 1 will choose one picture from each column and invent a short theatre play with it. After enacting it, Group 2 has to guess which pictures were included. Then, the groups switch.
• Open one window of column 1, 2, 3 and 4. Then ask the player if he/she approves or disapproves of the relationship or if he/she feels neutral about it. Also ask if he/she thinks the character in the relationship took a forced, impulsive or conscious decision. Visualise the answers by covering up the other images in column 5. Then ask the player how he/she feels about the relationship/interaction and visualise that answer in column 6.
