Agreement Works
Teaching consent through play:
A life skill every child needs.
Our Mission
Why play-based learning works.
Kids learn by doing — especially through play.
That’s why our card game uses real-world scenarios, and conversations to help children practise consent in a way that feels natural, fun and safe.
Unlike passive online resources, our approach creates a “flow state” — a proven method for helping children build skills like emotional regulation and social negotiation.
Backed by research
Research shows that students who learn through games are more motivated and perform better overall. One large study found a strong positive impact on learning outcomes, with an effect size of 0.705. (Source: Lei et al., 2022 – Journal of Educational Computing Research)

Agreement F.I.R.S.T – the game that builds confidence.
Our card game teaches five essential elements of consent:
Freely given
Informed
Responsive
Specific
Talked about
These apply to everyday situations — from sharing toys and resolving arguments to navigating online chats and building trust with friends.
By practising early, children develop the language and emotional tools to navigate more complex social situations later on — with clarity, kindness and confidence.
Teach consent the easy way.
Children who learn about consent early are better equipped to set boundaries, communicate clearly and form respectful relationships — skills that last a lifetime.
These early lessons help build:
Confidence and autonomy
Emotional literacy and empathy
Safer relationships and stronger mental health
Why Consent can’t wait.
According to the ABS Personal Safety Survey (2021–22):
49% of women who experienced childhood sexual abuse said the first incident happened between the ages 5–9
51% of men reported their first incident occurred between the ages 10–14
From 2014 to 2023, the most common age for sexual assault victims was 10–17 years
Respect starts early. So should consent.

“I use the Agreement F.I.R.S.T. cards as a therapeutic tool with children and have also found them highly effective with adults. They provide a powerful framework to explore healthy, consensual behaviour, while shedding light on the subtle and overt tactics that can undermine consent. This awareness helps individuals recognise manipulation, understand their rights and values, and develop practical boundary-setting strategies.”
