\"icon-852652_1280\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Picture this.\u00a0\u00a0 There are four teams of three eleven year olds each gathered around a table.\u00a0\u00a0 Each team has a piece of paper with four parallel lines, a plastic knife and a tube of toothpaste. Their mission? In 20 seconds squeeze as much toothpaste as possible out of the tube to cover the lines.<\/p>\n

Thirty other students are there to watch and cheerlead.<\/p>\n

The excitement of having a \u201csqueeze the toothpaste out of the tube to cover the lines\u201d contest was superseded only by the second instruction – \u201cNow put the toothpaste back in the tube with the plastic knife\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 I heard one of them say, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be kidding\u201d.<\/p>\n

What could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t count the students who ate the toothpaste it all went well.<\/p>\n

There was a point to this.\u00a0\u00a0 And I\u2019m sure, thanks to the viral nature of social networking, that you already know what it is.<\/p>\n

When we speak it\u2019s like squeezing out the toothpaste. Our words are out there and, like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube, words are hard to take back once they\u2019ve been spoken.<\/p>\n

Moments later I was blowing up a balloon \u2013 a breath into the balloon for each negative way to resolve a conflict that a child could think of.\u00a0\u00a0 Of course the inevitable happened.\u00a0\u00a0 There was a huge noise as the balloon popped and lots of delighted laughter.\u00a0\u00a0 As I blew up another balloon and let out air each time the students named a positive way to resolve a conflict everyone was paying attention.\u00a0\u00a0 No mean feat in a room full of 44 eleven year olds.<\/p>\n

Why would I be doing these types of activities? Well, this is where Pinterest came to the rescue again.\u00a0\u00a0 I needed lessons for grade five students about treating each other well and finding ways to resolve their issues more peacefully.\u00a0\u00a0 As I have mentioned previously on this blog, I follow a number of other counsellors on Pinterest and they never fail to inspire me with wonderfully engaging activities that made serious points.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just activities. It\u2019s ideas for group sessions, ways to organize my files, communicate with parents, and fabulous ideas for promoting positive mental health on campus. Whether it\u2019s the elementary school or the university I work at.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next up on my list?<\/p>\n

Erasing Meanness.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to see how that one turns out.<\/p>\n
