- Circle the kind of solution.
- Two kids want the same book, so they read it together.
- Two kids fight over a ball, so the teacher puts it away.
- Jack wants tag and Ana wants catch.
- They play tag because Jack yells the loudest.
- The group plays one kid’s game first and the other kid’s game next.
- Two friends pull on the last cookie and it falls on the floor.
Teacher tip
Ask kids to turn one lose-lose ending into a win-win.
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 is a fair solution here?
- Have you ever been in a moment like this? What happened?
