Summary: This bonus episode is all about one of my favorite ways to teach consent. It's called the consent game and it's a a great way to teach and practice consent for people of all ages. All you need is a table, people around the table, and either food or some objects in the middle. The game goes in three rounds: Round one: one person says the name of another person and asks them to pass a dish or an object. The person being asked can say "Yes" or "No". If the person says "No" the asker can ask someone else until someone says "Yes". When someone says "Yes", they pass the dish/object and it becomes their turn. The round continues until everyone has had a go. Round two: Players continue asking one another to pass dishes/objects, but cannot use their words. Players can only use facial expressions and hand gestures to ask people to pass dishes/objects and to communicate "Yes" and "No". This round gets pretty funny pretty fast, as people try to wiggle their eyebrows at one another in order to get a plate of mashed potatoes. The round continues until everyone has had a go. Round three: Players continue to ask one another to pass dishes/objects, but they are only allowed to use eye contact. No facial expressions, words, or gestures. This round continues until everyone has had a go, or it's too frustrating to continue. This game teachers verbal and non-verbal communication skills and why practicing them is so important in a really fun, non-confrontational way.
