The issue is relevant because in society sexuality is still a taboo, which in turn causes serious problems with adolescents, such as the early starting of sexual relations that can lead to pregnancies, abortions or sexually transmitted diseases, as a result knowledge was improved to impact on adolescent sexual practices and education of adolescents who benefited from the intervention. The type of study is quasi-experimental, it began with the application of a test where the socio-characteristics and the level of knowledge were identified about Sexual Health, and then educational interventions based mainly on playful techniques were developed, after each educational intervention evaluation techniques were applied, to identify the fulfillment of the educational objectives of each workshop. The final evaluation showed an increase in knowledge since at the beginning it had an average of 11.60 and after the educational program it was increased to 17.00 over 20 points. It is recommended to continue working in this age group with interactive methodologies that allowed the success of the educational intervention, techniques that take advantage of the use of images, games and educational material according to the topic creating an atmosphere of confidence in adolescents and contributing to improve their knowledge in order to seek to influence on their practices, their sexual education and therefore their health situation.
