Students learn how to be peaceful problem-solvers and resolve conflicts using an I-Message in this interactive and engaging lesson! Cut down on tattling and grow your students’ social skills by introducing your students to The Buddy Bear. Students grab him whenever they need to resolve a conflict, and whoever is holding him can speak. Students talk out their problem by taking turns, sharing their feelings, and expressing their needs with an I-Message. Digital for Google Slides™, PowerPoint, and printable materials are all included!
THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:
✅ A digital for Google Slides™ presentation about how to use The Buddy Bear to solve small problems ourselves with an I-Message. 18 interactive scenarios with fillable text boxes allow for ample practice with I-Messages.
✅ A PowerPoint presentation about how to use the Buddy Bear to solve small problems ourselves using an I-Message.
✅ Posters to hang in your Buddy Bear space that teach how he works and how to use an I-Message.
✅ 18 printable task cards let students practice solving small problems with The Buddy Bear and an I-Message.
✅ A printable Buddy Bear that you can use if you do not have access to a teddy bear.

✂️ NOTE: I recommend having a stuffed teddy bear on hand to teach this lesson!

“The Buddy Bear has made a huge difference in how my students handle small conflicts. The visuals, task cards, and interactive slides help them really understand how to use I-Messages—and they love having a special bear to hold while they talk it out! It’s reduced tattling and increased empathy in our classroom. Super easy to implement and so impactful!” – Chelsea B.
