How about a game that involves real life situations that you would be willing to share with other parents.
It would be played like this.
Suppose you were standing in line at the grocery store and your child started having a tantrum. Did you spank him/her right then and there, take him/her out to the car and left the cart with a bagger telling them you would be back as soon as you could handle the situation with your child, give in to the child, reason with the child and offer a reward if he/she straightened out, or just endured until you could get checked through? You could offer them as options to vote on and also the other parents after voting which option wqs closest to what they would/did do could offer some advice that wasn't listed. Then they could start a new "real life situation" option. I think we could all learn and have fun sharing some aggravating moments in our parenting history. Does this sound fun at all?

By the way, after having had 5 children and 2 grandchildren I have done all of the above - The spanking thing only once and that was just one little swat on the bottom of the errant child when they were about to hurt the other child! Still, not my brightest, most stellar moment! redface
