I'm looking for some ideas for computer lessons under the topic of "Peace, Peacemaking." We do not have software as was recommended --Actual Reality, but might get that. I'm in a fix for ideas to use with "Kid Pix" for toddlers-grade 3.
The software Actual Reality, mentioned above, lesson is found in the following lesson set found in the Beatitudes lesson forum.
Check out this COMPLETE LESSON SET: Blessed are the Peacemakers by Elmgrove U.M.C.

I just did a search on the internet for ideas on computer lessons for peace and came up with some ideas to get you thinking.
- Write & Illustrate a Short Story
Write a short story & illustrate it using "Kid Pix 4 (or 3-D)" Software.
First read the children some short stories where children made peace with another child to help get them thinking. Maybe have a container of ideas with slips of paper of situations they might find themselves in and they have to come up with a peaceful solution. - Write and illustrate a Peace Poem in "Kid Pix 4 (or 3-D)" Software.
Read Write Think Teacher's Website: http://www.readwritethink.org
Peace Poem Template: http://www.readwritethink.org/...sson93/peacepoem.pdf - Do an internet search for peace symbols - print off as many different ones as you can find. These would help the kids with their drawings and/or poems.
- Quiz - "Fall of Jericho" This software is FREE to supporting members! Check it out.
Write a quiz using WWJD scenarios. Write a situation and they have to select the peaceful answer to everyday situations they come across. This you could write for different age levels.
