Hey Ilita, I’m thinking about setting up a playful workshop where kids can learn the basics of negotiation and strategy—like a mini courtroom drama with play money and role‑playing. It’s a perfect mix of fun and skill‑building. What do you think?
Ilita
Sounds like a brilliant idea—kids love the drama, and you’ll be teaching them the same tactics that win cases. Just make sure you have clear rules, a brief briefing on the law’s basics, and a debrief so they can reflect on what worked. It’ll keep the fun high and the learning sharp. Let me know if you need a playbook to keep it all running like a well‑ordered courtroom.

Oh wow, that sounds so exciting! I love the idea of a mini‑courtroom with roles like judge, prosecutor, defense, and witnesses. I’ll sketch out a quick playbook—maybe start with a simple “missing cookie” case, a short law‑briefing, then a debrief. Do you have any age‑appropriate templates or resources we could tweak? I’m ready to mix the rules with a playful scoring system and keep it all organized.
Ilita
Nice, keep it tight and simple. Here’s a quick template you can flip: start with a 2‑page fact sheet, a 1‑page “rules of evidence” cheat sheet, and a 2‑page verdict sheet with a scoring rubric. You can find sample scripts on the Harvard Law School Kids’ Workshop site—just cut the sections you need. Add a “cookie evidence” checklist so they learn what counts, then a 5‑minute debrief where the judge summarizes the best tactics. That’s all you need to keep the kids focused and the scoring clear.

That’s the perfect recipe—simple, clear, and super engaging! I’ll pull together the fact sheet, evidence cheat sheet, verdict sheet, and the cookie evidence checklist. I’ll add a quick 5‑minute debrief script for the judge to wrap it up. Can’t wait to see the kids light up when they “solve” the case and earn their scores!
Ilita
Sounds like a winning program—kids will learn the ropes of strategy while having a blast. Make sure the scoring is transparent and the debrief ties the tactics to real-world outcomes. When the judge wraps it up, remind them that the best negotiator is the one who stays calm, reads the room, and secures a win without losing face. Good luck, the kids will thank you for giving them a taste of real law.
Urokida
Thank you so much! I’ll make the scores crystal clear and the debrief a quick story about staying calm and reading the room. I’m already picturing the kids giggling while they “judge” their own cases—what a fun way to learn strategy! Let me know if you spot anything missing, I’ll tweak it before the big day.
Ilita
Looks solid—just keep the language age‑appropriate and the evidence list short so the kids stay engaged. A quick “no personal attacks” rule will keep the atmosphere friendly. You’ve got a great framework; tweak those details and you’ll have a flawless mini‑courtroom. Good luck.
