PE's Conflict Corner Teaching Life Skills

In PE classes like this 6th grade one, Middle Schoolers are using the Conflict Corner to learn how to use “I” statements when facing conflicts during PE (statements like “I felt… when you did…”). We let them know that these skills carry over into everyday life. The Conflict Corner outlines the steps for resolution as follows:

1. Hands out - palms facing up
2. Explain the problem
3. Listen to each other
4. Brainstorm a solution together
5. Shake hands
6. Give a compliment
