Display the images of learners fighting (page 3) on the board.
Ask why do they think they are fighting.
Can they think of other scenarios why friends fight?
• Explain what is Conflict?
Conflict is a disagreement or problem that happens between two or
more people. It can happen to anyone, from best friends to enemies.
Most conflicts start small, but they continue to grow, snowballing into
major problems.
• Explain what is Conflict Resolution?
When there’s a problem, it’s important to address the problem in a
peaceful way, understanding both sides of the situation. This is conflict
resolution or peaceful problem solving.
• Display the following vocabulary on the board (page 2), ask learners to
explain what these words mean:
- Understanding – Learners need to understand what conflict is and how
it can have a negative effect on a person.
- Empathy – Is the ability to sense other people's emotions, coupled with
the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling.
- Responsibility – Conflict involves more than one person. The learners
involved need to know how to take responsibility for their own part in
the conflict. Whether they caused the problem or simply exasperated
the situation, they need to admit that they were wrong and be willing
to do their part to make amends.
- Communication – In order to resolve conflict peacefully, learners will
need to use their words. Communication is vital to conflict resolution.
They must talk about the issue and come to a mutually beneficial
solution.
- Choice – There are more than one strategy to solve a conflict
independently. The ‘Wheel of Choice’ below offers many strategies

that are simple and effective.
Do the following Conflict Resolution Activities
Role Play – role-play various scenarios. Discuss the process with them
after, going through what they could do better next time. Great
scenarios to role-play include resolving conflict with a bully, fixing a
friendship after a fight, or getting along with a sibling.
Play a Game – “What the Solution?” is a fun card game to play that
involves kids coming up with solutions to solve common problems. Use
the problem-solving wheel to add solutions for the argument.
Peace Maker Promise – Have learners learn and sort differences between
a peacemaker and peace breaker. Have them take an oath to be a
peacemaker in the classroom.
• Learners now do the conflict worksheet.
Remember that using violence is never a way to solve problems or make peace.
Explain to your child that they must always tell you if they have a fight or argument at school.
STAY CALM! Make an appointment to speak to the teacher and find out what exactly happened. Teachers are always open to
discuss problems.
