B.6. Bad News and Good News

This is an excellent activity to use during or before Shabbat, or before any big event to give everyone a chance to share something lightly personal.

As a round start a sentence with, “The nicest thing that happened to me this week was…” Emphasize that it might be something big and exciting, or small and pleasant. (Perhaps just a smile from someone special.)

Variations: 
Write them anonymously, guess who wrote them.
In a light frame of mind, do “Bad News.” “The worst thing that happened to me this week was…” (Follow this with Good News!)
Do "Bad News" and discuss the degree of sympathy desired.
