Book Review
A short overview of this book
BISH Activity Book by Justin Hancock is a printable workbook that will help teens to work out how they feel about sex, love and themselves.
This interactive resource includes innovative worksheets for you to print out and use in Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), from BISH, one of the leading sex and relationships advice websites for young people.
This activity book is a companion piece to all the really good information at BISH to help young people to make sense of relationships and sex for themselves. It’s about asking students some big questions to help them work out how they feel about themselves and relationships and sex.
To that end there are worksheets around self-esteem, self-care, relationships, feeling better about our bodies, sex, consent and communication in this resource. As well as some of these more serious worksheets there are also fun activities such as join the dots, spot the difference, colouring-in, and a board game.
With the two approaches combined, the author hopes that young folk will be able to have some of the outcomes of good RSE.
Ideal Age
Ideal for teens aged 14 to 18 years.

Hey there! I’m Cath Hak, the founder of Sex Ed Rescue and I run a YouTube channel by the same name. If you’re a parent looking for a better way to talk to your kids about love, sex, relationships, and growing up, then you’ve come to the right place. Sex Ed Rescue is not just a YouTube channel, it’s a website too, where I share lots of helpful videos and resources.
One resource that I highly recommend for parents is an activity book for teens that you can print out. It’s seriously awesome! It’s called the BISH activity book and it’s written by an English sex educator named Justin Hancock. This book covers everything from understanding sexuality to consent, and it’s packed with valuable information. I’ll show you the website in a bit, but first, let me tell you more about the book.
The BISH activity book is all about helping teens figure out their feelings about sex, love, and themselves. It’s got an intro section and covers topics like what sex is, understanding different body parts, gender, and what’s okay and not okay. It’s really comprehensive! The book is from 2018, so it’s pretty up-to-date.
Now, let’s talk about the website. It’s called BishUK.com, and it’s a fantastic companion to the book. On the website, you’ll find a guide to sex, loving yourself, and more for people over the age of 14. There are different sections like sex, love, body, safer sex, and even a Q&A where Justin answers questions from readers. It’s super helpful!
The best part is that you can actually download the BISH activity book for free from the website. Of course, if you want to support Justin’s amazing work, you can make a donation. He’s a passionate educator who puts a lot of love into creating these resources. There’s also a paid version of the book available if you prefer that.
In addition to the activity book, there’s another website called Bish Training that offers even more great resources. Unfortunately, Justin’s book called Sex Explained has been out of print for a while, but keep an eye out for it because it’s definitely worth checking out.
I really believe that the BISH activity book is a fantastic resource for parents and even homeschooling parents. It’s filled with activities and ideas to help you have open and honest conversations with your child about sex, healthy relationships, and consent. I personally find Justin’s work incredibly helpful in my own approach to helping parents like you talk to your kids.
So, go ahead and visit the website, download the activity book, and explore all the other resources available. And if you can, consider making a donation to support Justin’s important work. Together, we can empower our kids to make smarter decisions and have healthier relationships. I hope you find this resource as valuable as I do. Cheers!
