How
to Play!
The Consent Game is designed to help children understand and practice the concept of consent through interactive play, body language, and discussion. Here's how to play:
1. Set Up the Slide Deck
The game begins with a slide deck containing two types of cards:
-
Scenario Cards (Yes, No, Maybe)
-
Action Cards
Each Scenario Card presents a realistic situation where someone may feel uncomfortable or unsure, written in both Thai and English. The scenarios vary in seriousness and are appropriate for different age groups. Each card is labeled as either a Yes, No, or Maybe situation, though this is not revealed to players during gameplay.
Each Action Card contains a possible response to a scenario. These are acted out through non-verbal body language.
2. Gameplay Steps
-
Draw Cards: One player draws a Scenario Card and an Action Card.
-
Read and Act:
-
The player reads the Scenario Card aloud.
-
Then, they act out the Action Card without speaking, using only body language.
-
-
Group Discussion:
-
The other players observe the performance and discuss what they think the body language meant.
-
They talk about whether the response showed consent, refusal, or uncertainty.
-
Players reflect on the scenario and whether it’s appropriate or safe to give consent in that situation.
-
The purpose is to encourage critical thinking and conversation about personal boundaries, emotional safety, and how to read and respect non-verbal signals.
-
At the end of the game, each player receives a Reflection Paper. They write about:
-
What they learned from the game
-
The scenarios they saw
-
What consent means to them
-
Why it’s important to respect boundaries
-
This reflection helps solidify the lesson and ensures children leave with a deeper understanding of consent, safety, and empathy.
