Two Conflict Resolution Games in One!
Every day, children encounter conflict--at home, on the
playground, in class. Yet most don't have the skills
needed to prevent or peacefully resolve disagreements.
Peacetown teaches conflict resolution skills and gives
youngsters an opportunity to practice using them.
Peacetown is really two games in one. Using one side of
the gameboard, which shows the exteriors of Peacetown,
players learn basic conflict resolution skills:
apologizing, compromising, taking turns, sharing,
avoiding, ignoring, and getting help.
Then, turning the board over, they move inside the
buildings of Peacetown, where they learn deeper conflict
resolutions skills: listening, respecting differences,
communicating feelings, taking responsibility for
actions, and attacking the problem rather than the
person.
On both sides of the gameboard, players must use the
skills learned to resolve thought-provoking conflict
vignettes presented on game cards. These vignettes--and
an engaging, double-sided gameboard populated with
diverse children--make Peacetown not only effective, but
also fun.
