MUNCHKIN MEDIATION!

BRETTON WOODS STUDENTS SHOWCASE CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS THROUGH THEATRE

Bretton Woods Elementary School students recently performed a creative production of Munchkin Mediation: Conflict Resolution in Oz. The play was staged by Phoebe Czachor’s 2nd grade and Veronica Weeks’ and Tara Gray’s 5th grades classes. “All of the students worked together to choreograph dances as well as to learn songs and their lines,” described Czachor. “They worked fabulously together and became very close during the entire process. Parents from both classes also worked together on the beautiful costumes and scenery for the play.”

Munchkin Mediation: Conflict Resolution in Oz is about all of the characters of Oz arguing and disagreeing. The witches disagreed with one another as well as Dorothy and Toto, and the Lion and the Tinman. “As various conflicts arose, strategies were discussed on how to successfully resolve their differences,” the teachers described.
