Peace Path: A Visual Conflict Resolution Strategy
I have used a Peace Path for the past 8 years of teaching Special Education, and absolutely love it. It is an awesome way to help students work out any issues that arise. I also use it personally with my students if an issue needs to be addressed. It really helps students learn how to work out a problem in a safe way. Just print the pages on card stock, laminate each one, and tape it together. It's very easy to use- two people step on each sides of the path on the footprints and walk through the

Can YOU survive the island until help arrives?Many students have played the classic critical thinking game in which they prioritize a list of items to survive on a remote tropical island. But there's two major drawbacks of this original version. First, most of these games reward a clear preference for certain items ("What do you mean you didn't take the compass?").
