CONFLICT BUSTERS
Conflict Busters is a cooperative educational game with a space travel theme. It is designed to teach important knowledge and skills for conflict resolution. Anger control skills are also included. Since the game is cooperative, rather than competitive, the students practice and learn cooperative skills as they participate in a space journey to Saturn, which is represented by a jigsaw puzzle in the centre of the board. Players earn puzzle pieces by answering questions about conflict resolution and complete their ‘mission’ when they have completed the puzzle. The game contains many examples of conflicts that could occur on a space voyage, but more importantly, are common in primary school.
