This kit, The Marriage Game, is designed to provide female students in high school an opportunity to think about their futures, specifically as they relate to choices around marriage and vocational training. There are three parts to the kit: the guidelines, the workbook and make-it-yourself. The kit was designed for educators to work with groups of teenage women to discuss their thoughts on marriage and careers. The "game" runs for five days and students are asked to consider biographies of real women, to imagine how their lives may have panned out, and how they can apply those biographies to their own interests.

The kit was original designed in 1970 by the Rosenburg Foundation to provide vocational information to teenage women. It was then adapted by the YWCA, that California Advisory Commission on the Status of Women, and the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labour. The kit continued to be iteratively updated based on feedback from participants. The kit was then introduced into the Los Angeles school system, and was eventually brought to Ontario by Jeanne Scott at a conference for guidance councillors. The kit was then adapted for Canadian students by high school teacher Julie Hamilton.
