The 14th January is STI Awareness Day (Also known as STIQ Day). Gov.uk statistics show that the impact of STIs remains greatest in young people aged 15 - 24.

STI Awareness Day is a great opportunity to introduce or recap sexual health work for Key Stages 3 or 4 around sexually transmitted infections. We have a lesson plan that uses with a card game where students match the names of ten different STIs to the defintions, symptoms and treatments.

You can use this as a full lesson to cover the basic knowledge around STIs or as a quick warm up activity for older students as a recap.
