Identify a conflict that keeps coming up in the classroom, such as hitting. Use a stuffed animal or puppet to talk to the children about that scenario. For example, the stuffed dog could say, “The other dog was playing with this really cool bone and I wanted it. He had it for a loooong time.

The more I thought about it, the madder I got. I finally walked up to him and said, ‘I want to use that bone,' and he said, ‘No,' so I hit him. Was that okay?” Get responses from the children. Ask them what the dog should have done instead.
