Recently in our SEAL learning we have been looking at ways to solve problems. Where possible, children are encouraged to try and resolve problems together and we used drama to test this out using the following script.
READY…
Both ‘sides’ should be calm – it’s never any good to make up when you are angry.
STEADY…
Take it in turns to say what you are feeling and why; and what you would like to happen.
Listen well-don’t interrupt.
GO…
Pick a solution that everyone is happy with.
STEADY script for children
- I felt… say how you felt
- When… say what happened
- Because… say why it upsets you
- I would like… say what you want to happen or to change
