This period board game teaches young girls about their menstrual cycles

'Bleed to succeed. Period.'

Olivia Hayes

We were all told in different ways.

The minute puberty hit, you were either given a) a book, b) a talking to by your mother or c) an awkward lesson in school.

To be fair, many of us learned about our menstrual cycle by asking questions, or either just working things out by ourselves.

But, this seems way more fun.

Say hello to The Period Game, a fun way to teach young girls about their growing bodies and what changes are ahead of them.

The board has a 3D model of the female reproductive system, and according to the website, “every turn begins with a player turning one of the two ovaries, releasing a marble into the tray below.

“A red marble came out? Congrats! You got your period. A clear marble? Better luck next time.

“Depending on where your marble takes you, play a protection card, preparation card or go to the nurse’s office.”

The designers of the board game are currently looking for manufacturers, but we’ve no doubt it will be snatched up and sold around the world.

Our favourite part though? It’s slogan – Bleed To Succeed. Period.
