Is it okay to 'Think It or Say It'? - Conflict Resolution Sorting Activity
The ‘Think It or Say It’ sorting activity has been designed to support children and young people with identifying potential causes of peer conflict. This is a Conflict Resolution approach focused on restorative practice!
Sort out the phrases on the cards into things we can say and things we can think. Often we experience thoughts that might be uncomfortable or unkind, this activity helps children to identify what is socially appropriate to share versus what to keep to themselves, such as criticisms of peers around them.
How could this resource be used?
- To support emotional regulation & emotional literacy.
- To support conflict resolution.
- To support a child 1:1.
