How to Play Non-violent Clue with a 5 year old.

Don't let the child read the instructions or the gig is up.

There is no Mr Body. There are 6 friends who want to play... hide and seek. We get to help find them.

They want to hide with... objects. They think it will be more fun that way. Say, "No, I have no idea why they are called weapons." Gloss over that as quickly as possible.

Continue as per the rules.

How long do you think that could last? In my house, about 5 minutes. Pablo asked my why anyone would hurt someone else. Phooey those instructions.
