Peaceful Playground at Garden Grove
Peaceful Playground is a playground system designed to put an end to most playground conflicts. Peaceful Playground teaches students important life skills using these six key principles:
- Teach students a consistent universal set of rules so that there are fewer disagreements.
- Teach new games to all students so that they have more choices.
- Teach all students the skills needed to solve conflicts (walk/talk/rock, paper, scissors).
- Provide adequate playground equipment. (New equipment has been purchased for each grade level.)
- Provide universal and consistent expectations and positive reinforcement for good sportsmanship.
- Mark the playground with new-age appropriate games.
