COMMUNICATING ASSERTIVELY MODULE
Game Message:
The purpose of this game is to discuss how peer pressure can lead to having unprotected sex and therefore increases the chances to be infected with HIV.
- Everyone faces peer pressure.
- Peer pressure gets worse as we get older.
- Peer pressure makes it harder to protect ourselves from HIV.
How To Play:
1. Participants form a circle.
2. Select two participants to hold the skipping rope while the others will line up to pass under the skipping rope. Encourage the participants to clap and sing a song.
3. After everyone has passed under the rope, the height of the skipping rope will be reduced. By reducing the skipping rope it will become more and more difficult for every one to pass under.
4. The participants who cannot pass under must go and sit on the side while the others continue. The game ends when no one can pass under the skipping rope. However, you can end the game whenever you want if you are running out of time.
Discussion Points:
- The rope represents peer pressure
- What is peer pressure?
- How can we link peer pressure to HIV/AIDS?
- What are three ways to protect ourselves from HIV?
