- Abstract
This article focuses on STD/AIDS prevention and aimed to report the use of educational game as a strategy for health education for adolescents. Descriptive exploratory study carried out in a public school of Fortaleza-CE in June 2009 with 85 adolescents. The participant observation, the observation protocol and the pre and post-testing were used to apply the educational game. The result of pre-testing demonstrated the unfamiliarity of most adolescents on the cares that we should have with preservatives. After the accomplishment of the game and the post-testing, we verified the effectiveness of the participative educational activity, once the data demonstrate that most of the students assimilated the subjects discussed by the group during the game. The use of the educational game was a successful experience for having favored the execution of the educational process putting together information, discussion, reflection, interaction and group participation, where the adolescents could clear their doubts, fill out gaps of knowledge regarding subjects like sexuality and prevention of STD and AIDS and interact with each other in an informal way, facilitating the participation of all in the learning.
