"Simon says, offer a hug to someone who looks like they could use one," or "Simon says, write a note of
appreciation to a family member." This game not only promotes positive behavior but also encourages

Class Reflection After discussing peace concepts in class, it's important for students to reflect on how they can apply these

strive to resolve conflicts peacefully by using communication and negotiation skills rather than resorting to
aggression. By embracing compassion, tolerance, and respect, students can create a positive ripple effect of
peace in their communities and beyond.

Conclusion and 2 minutes Assign students to create a poster or write a short paragraph on how they can promote peace in their
Homework community. Encourage them to share their work with their family and friends.
