The Golden Rule: Solving Conflicts Using "I" Messages

Updated with 10 new pages, The Golden Rule is # 10 in a series of character education booklets that I use in my school counseling lessons. Included in this packet are black line and color version of the booklet, black line and color posters, and I message paddles. Students will define empathy, create a feelings word bank and generate a list of conflicts to use in role playing as they work through the activity. They will learn the steps to solving conflicts and learn to effectively use I messages. I message prompt paddle can be used to help students practice giving each other I messages. New posters: The 7 Agreements of Conflict Resolution and The 5 Steps to Conflict Resolution.
