This study aims to recognize the impact of simulation game approach to female adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding personal hygiene during menstruation. This study is Quasi Experiment with Pretest-Posttest Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The participants were all female students in that number of samples was 64 respondents selected by purposive sampling. Snakes and ladders online games and true-false games are among the simulation games applied. The results of statistical tests obtained p = 0.000 (p<0.05) for knowledge variable and p = 0.000 (p<0.05) for attitude variable, indicated that there was a significant difference in the average score of respondents' knowledge and attitudes before and after they participate in a simulation game. It concluded that health education regarding personal hygiene during menstruation for female adolescent through simulation game (Persimu) may improve the knowledge and attitudes of female students at SMPN 12 Makassar so that they can behave in excellent menstrual hygiene.
