Making A Comparison
Discuss some of the games that children play in Australia.
Compare, contrast and discuss how these games are different and similar to Chinese games played in lesson five. Are there games that are similar? Do they have different rules? If so, how are the rules different? How are the concepts of these games different? Create a venn diagram to highlight these similarities and differences.

Discuss the different conflicts that they have to resolve in their daily lives. How do they cope with such a conflict? Ask students how listening helps to build peace and resolve conflict.
