  2. You know you are healthy when your body, mind, actions toward others, and feelings are at their best.

  3. Everyone has all kinds of feelings and it is important that you let people know how you are feeling through your positive words, body language, and how you act. It is important to think about how your expression of your feelings will affect others. Everyone shares feelings in their own way.

  4. You show good character by acting in a way that is best for you and others, whether someone else is watching or not.

  5. Your family and friends are people you care about and who care about you. You should show respect to each and every person.

  6. You do things for many different reasons: because you want to or don't want to, you know you should or you shouldn't, someone told you, something looks attractive or inviting or dangerous or scary, or you know it is the right thing to do.


LEARNING TARGET / SUCCESS CRITERIA

I will define conflict and describe ways to avoid or resolve conflicts.

---------------------------------------------------

PRE-INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITY

Conflict | Sesame Street


OPENING (Engage)

Talk About It

Take a look at the pictures of friends playing together below. Note that they seem to getting along.

Do friends and family members always get along?

What can happen when people don't get along?



Whenever you are in a situation to make a choice about how you are going to treat someone, please remember to:


"Treat others as you want them to treat you."


Vocabulary Strategies


agree - to think the same as someone


conflict - when people do not agree


All friends and families experience conflicts. The important thing is to learn how to resolve, or work out, conflicts.


What could happen if children shown playing together do not agree about something? When people don't agree, they should tell people how they feel and listen to each other. It's important to talk in a calm way because yelling, hitting, shoving, or harming someone in any way doesn't resolve the conflict.


Sometimes you can resolve conflicts by yourselves and at other times you might need to ask an adult for help.


Character Trait: Be Fair

  • treat people the way you want to be treated

  • take turns

  • tell the truth

  • play by the rules

  • think about how your actions will affect others

  • listen to people with an open mind

  • don't blame other for your mistakes

  • don't take advantage of other people

  • don't play favorites


You be fair, even when others aren't, because it is the right and respectful thing to do.


WORK PERIOD (Explore/Explain/Extend/Elaborate)

Let's take a look at this rhyme:

If we start to disagree,

I'll listen to you, and you listen to me.

We'll find a way to work it out.

We can do it. I have no doubt!


How do we do that when we have conflict?


We're going to play Tic-Tac-Toe as we are working on "being fair."

  • What is a fair way to decide who goes first?

  • What is a fair way to play the game?

  • What is a fair way to resolve disagreements or conflicts?


CLOSING (Evaluate)

Life Skill - Communicate

Sometimes people want to apologize after they have resolved a conflict. How might we resolve the conflicts below and then apologize for our part in the conflict?

  • I want to go first. No, I want to go first.

  • I was going to use that crayon. No, I want to use that crayon.

  • He is my friend. I want to play with him. No, he's my friend, I want to play with him.

  • I want to watch this. Well, I want to watch that.
