Lesson Plan
Playground Peace Path
Students will learn the Stop, Talk, Solve strategy and practice resolving playground conflicts through guided role-plays, puppet theater, and journaling to build peaceful problem-solving skills.
Kindergarteners often encounter turn-taking and sharing conflicts. Teaching a clear, repeatable strategy fosters empathy, communication, and a positive classroom culture by reducing disruptions and empowering students.
