I hate giving bad news to anyone… even to people I don’t like. But since discovering the art of charades I have made delivering bad news a joy…. one that the whole family can get involved in. Now, the point is if the other person guesses the bad news then they had fun playing the game and I feel better about it – it’s a win-win situation.
So go ahead give it a try… your children will enjoy finding out that the dog died when you backed into him with the 4 wheel drive and couldn’t be resuscitated through a fun game of charades.
I actually had to do this once.
Only I had to tell some kids their parents had been burnt alive.
Fun for me.. not so much for them unfortunately.
At least you got your message across using the ancient art of charades… those kids should be thanking you
