What kids do
Printed on the sheet:

- 2. They talk it out
- 3. The fair solution
- The peacemaker tool they used:
Teacher tip
Let kids act out their comic before they draw it.
How to use it
- Practice when everyone is calm, not in the middle of a real conflict.
- Use the same words from the sheet when a real conflict comes up.
- Model your own answer first. Kids open up more when the grown-up goes first.
Watch for
Bullying is not a conflict between equals. Make sure kids know to tell a grown-up about it.
Talk about it
- What is a fair solution here?
- How might someone else see it differently?
Take it further
Train a few kids as class peacemakers who help classmates use the steps.
