Toolbox for Peace
What would you have in your peace-building toolkit?
Fill up a box with items or ideas that represent your vision for peace.
Examples:
• a photo of you and/or friends with symbols of peace (e.g. a dove, rainbow, olive branch)
• a collage or flag with words and phrases that you associate with peace
• a set of ‘Peace Rules’ that you and friends think are important
• something sporty, e.g. a football, netball, cricket ball
• a ‘peace pledge’, something you can do to practice peace on your own and with friends
Photos/ videos/ audio ideas
How many ways can you think of to display the hashtag? #Commonwealth4Peace
Examples:
• spell out the hashtag using letter placards (19 children, 1 for each character)
• write the hashtag on your blackboard/ whiteboard/ in the sand
• bake a peace-themed cake/ cupcakes
• paint the hashtag/ logo design on to pebbles/ rocks
• fingerprint the theme design
• decorate an old t-shirt with the theme design and hashtag.
Can you…
• spell out the word ‘peace’ together with your friends using only your bodies?
• make a hand banner that’s long enough to circle your whole classroom?
• make a multi-coloured handprint wreath to hang around your classroom?
• make a peace mural for your classroom that expresses everyone’s vision of peace.
• film/record a discussion with your friends about how different cultures celebrate peace around the Commonwealth.
Make sure you take photos of your creations and share them online using #Commonwealth4Peace
