“As the name implies, Game On! The Ultimate Sexuality Education Gaming Guide is a wonderful comprehensive guide for educators who like to teach through games, but it is much more than that.  If a sexuality educator never used one game this is still a great resource.  Among other points, it contains strong principles of sexuality education; creative and useful teaching tips; helpful teaching objectives; a strong overview of sexuality content; and, a healthy combination of sexuality knowledge, exploration of feelings, and consideration of various attitudes about sexuality.  This is a MUST HAVE resource for anyone involved in sexuality education.”

“I love the idea of a sexuality education manual using childhood games and other very timely methods like reality television shows. I strongly believe that this is a better way to education our youth and/or review information. These are creative strategies that definitely will meet the needs of the groups, teach skills, explore attitudes and assist in the acquisition of skills. Exactly what we are looking for as sexual health educators!  The activity directions and instructions are clearly written and easily understandable.”

puts the fun into learning, and learning into the fun.  Games for a variety of audiences – including one specifically designed for people who have intellectual disabilities – cover many sexual health topic areas and a host of enjoyable gaming genres.  The volume’s foundation, firmly rooted in the pedagogy of gaming, as well as a section of resources that can be used to create new games, make this a unique and valuable reference.”

“Game On! is a treat to read!! The variety of classroom games will allow students to have meaningful experiences in health education that they will remember instead of facts they will forget!! The games are ingenious, could be adapted for all ability levels, and do not require expenditure by teachers, which in this economy means a lot.   Teachers will get a break from thinking about how to convey some of the slippery topics and abstract concepts to their students without preaching.  Health educators will be grateful to have this fine piece of creative work.”
