History of Voting

·        Brainstorm solutions to specific conflicts. Preparation will help them when any conflict arises.

·        Fill a mason jar full of popsicle sticks with solutions to problems. When someone is finding it difficult to find a way to resolve their issues, they can take a stick from the jar and try that.

·        Create stories individually or in groups.

·        Role Play – A great way to teach conflict resolution is to role-play various scenarios. By acting out tough situations that might require conflict resolution, they will have a safe place to work through the issue.

·        Play a Game – Playing games with peers involves learning to get along and figuring out rules together.
