Peace Circle

Sit together with your class in a circle.  Bring a focal object from nature, such as a smooth beach stone, a feather, etc.  Have quiet, meditative music playing in the background.

As the children pass the object around in a circle, encourage each to reflect on what ‘peace’ means to them in a few words.
