Do you ever feel like the peacemaker in your classroom? When children get together, conflict and disagreements are inevitable. I find that children often turn to adults to resolve the conflicts they have with their peers.

Young children are still developing and refining the social and emotional skills needed to self-regulate and negotiate with others. Being able to calmly resolve a disagreement is an important life-skill that needs to be explicitly taught to children. The Peace Table is one tool I like to use to teach these life-long skills to the children in my class.

I’ve designed some calming, nature inspired resources that you can print and display at your Peace Table area. These printables include informative posters, illustrated quotes, prompts and negotiation reminders to ensure your Peace table is used effectively by the children. I’ve also included some banners and signs to help you label and define your Peace Table space.

You will receive a zipped folder containing ALL 3 beautiful sets of these Peace Table printables. Each set has a different nature inspired theme. There’s a Brown Nature theme, A Green Leaf theme and a Brown Rocks theme. Choose the theme that suits your classroom décor and print for an instant Peace Table setup.  I recommend printing these resources at a high quality to achieve the stunning quality.

You will ALSO receive a bonus PowerPoint presentation to guide you through a step-by-step lesson to introduce the Peace Table to your class. This PowerPoint is fully editable in case you would like to make any changes.

The Peace Table can be used by one child as a space for personal reflections and/or calming down. It can also be used by two (or up to 3 or 4) children to comfortably sit together and talk through a conflict.
