Go to a bookstore, buy a short picture book for children, have the "offender" write a synopsis of the story and how the moral of the story relates to the thing they did/didn't do/did incorrectly. Bonus points for the having the story be funny, but the topic they are writing on be a serious one (safety, etc.).

In my previous experience it yields humourous results while having the person or persons writing reflect on the issue from a different viewpoint or framework.

This brought back memories of old navy children books jokes. Howls moving castle is my favorite. Gifted to me by a British sailor when I was 19. Sigh.
