How can I get help to solve the problem? Stop the game. Find a Peace Pal. Say “We have a problem, we need your help”. Find a quiet spot away from the game or group.

What Should Peace Pals do? Stand in a Triangle, facing each other. Use names. Say “Yes …. and …. How can I help?” Listen to one point of view – no interruptions, no questions. Listen to the other point of view – no interruptions, no questions. Ask “What do you want to happen?” Think of a solution. Has a rule been broken that needs to be agreed? Does there need to be an apology? Does everyone need to count to 10? Do you need to ‘Agree to Disagree’. Thank those who have asked for help. Share the problem with another Peace Pal – can they suggest anything different?

We Need Peace Pals that are… Carers Helpful Listeners Communicators Fair Trustworthy Respectful and who are Respected Positive
