The Period Game
Learn how to go with the flow.
Over the past few years we have shifted the way we talk about periods. Now it's time to change the way we teach them. That’s why we created The Period Game. The Period Game is a board game about menstruation. It strives to turn a typically uneasy situation into a fun, positive, learning experience. The game teaches participants about what is happening within the body and how to “go with the flow.” It’s pretty much impossible to play the game without saying words like “period” and “tampon,” making it a lot easier to talk about both in real life, and empowering the next generation to stop hiding tampons in their sleeves. The past few years have seen a shift in how we talk about menstruation— it's amazing, but we believe the best way to bust the taboo is to change the way we teach it. If everyone was required to learn about menstruation and was able to do so in a fun, safe environment, we could raise a whole new generation that doesn't feel the need to hide tampons in their sleeves.
