The Sexuality Goose Game

Explanation of the assignments corresponding with the different symbols:

1. Looking glass (light green) = SEARCH: The team leader gives the group 1 term. They have 1 minute to find an object they can associate with that word. They need to be able to explain how it can be associated, but they can be creative. E.g.: associate the term "safe sex" with a rain jacket or a bike helmet because those objects protect you.
2. Text balloon (orange) = TABOO: The game leader gives the chosen player of the group one word to describe and 2 words he/she cannot use to describe it, e.g.: describe the word "pregnancy" without using the words "baby" and "nine months". The player's team gets 1 minute to guess the word. If they guess it, they get 1 point. If they don't, they loose their turn and the other groups can guess. The group that guesses the correct answer gets the point.
3. Theater mask (dark green) = CHARADES: The game leader gives the chosen player 1 word to enact, e.g.: to be in love, a condom, to go on a date, to masturbate, ... The player's team gets 1 minute to guess the word. If they guess it, they get 1 point. If they don't, they loose their turn and the other groups can guess. The group that guesses the correct answer gets the point.
4. Pencil (blue) = PICTIONARY: The game leader gives the player 1 word to draw, e.g.: webcam, penis, boobs, porn, sexting, homosexuality,... The player's team gets 1 minute to guess the word. If they guess it, they get 1 point. If they don't, they loose their turn and the other groups can guess. The group that guesses the correct answer gets the point.
5. Clock (pink) = STORYTELLING: The game leader starts telling a story, e.g. "Two boys are walking on the street hand in hand." The group has to finish the story. Each player of the group can add 1 sentence. The final player needs to be able to wrap up the story. If they succeed, they get 1 point.
6. Eye (red) = STARE DOWN COMPETITION: One of the players of the group challenges a player from another group to a stare down competition. Whoever blinks, turns away or starts laughing first loses. The other player scores 1 point for his/her team.

2. Topic: If you want to address a specific subtopic of sexuality, e.g. gender or safe sex, adapt the words and situations accordingly.
3. Possible assignment variations:

• Clock: The game leaders shows one of the cards of the (Not) Okay card game and asks the group what happens next in this situation.
• Text balloon 1: The game leader reads a statement, e.g. "If you wear a short skirt, it's your fault if you get unwanted attention". The players of the group need to phrase their opinion about the statement. Discuss the statement with the other players as well.
• Text balloon 2: The game leader asks the group how they would react in a specific situation, e.g.: "How would you react if your boy-/girlfriend asks you to read the messages on your phone?", "How would you react if your boy-/girlfriend asks you to send him/her a nude?", etc. Discuss the answers afterwards and ask the other players if they would react in the same or in a different way.
• Text balloon 3: The game leader describes a situation and asks the group to come up with ways to best express what needs to be expressed. An example: • Situation: "Oliver (17) is in bed with his girlfriend Carla (16). They are both very turned on and Oliver begins kissing and undressing Carla. Carla wants to make sure Oliver uses a condom. How can she ask him?". • Assignment for the group: Come up with one funny way, one seductive way and one serious way to ask Oliver to use a condom.
• Theater mask: The game leader gives the group a situation and they need to act it out in a role-play. The other groups need to guess which situation they are enacting, e.g.: "a nude of a boy/girl is forwarded without permission and the next day, the entire school knows". Discuss the situations that are enacted afterwards. In this case, you could ask questions such as: Have you received a sext before? How can you sext in a safe way? What would you do if you received a nude from someone else without asking? etc.
