Teacher tip

Talk about why conflict is normal and can even be a chance to learn.

How to use it

  • Role-play one scenario with a puppet or another adult before kids start.
  • Post the steps or tools from the sheet where kids solve problems, like near the door to recess.
  • Keep finished sheets in an SEL folder so kids can look back on their growth.

Watch for

Bullying is not a conflict between equals. Make sure kids know to tell a grown-up about it.

Talk about it

  • What could each person do to make the problem smaller?
  • Have you ever been in a moment like this? What happened?

Take it further

Set up a peace corner or a peace table with the steps posted.
