Conflict Resolution Strategies

Read the story, then try each activity. When a disagreement feels unsafe or too big to solve, move away and ask a trusted adult for help.

Read: The football disagreement

At lunch, Talia and Chloe both reach for the same football. Talia says, “I was using it first!” Chloe replies, “You had it for ages!” They both feel annoyed. Talia takes a slow breath and says, “I feel frustrated because I’d like another turn.” Chloe listens, then explains that he has not had a kick yet. They agree to take five kicks each and then swap. When they cannot agree on whose turn is next, they ask the teacher on duty to help.
