Peace Makers 3-Part Cards

“Education is the best weapon for peace.” This quote by Maria Montessori still holds true. Peace Education is an essential component of Montessori curriculum. It was her belief that the child was the future of mankind and as such, it was our responsibility as the guide to educate and inspire them in the ways of peaceful conflict resolution. This material introduces the child to eight different peace makers of the world. It consists of labels, biography cards, pictures, and as a bonus, quotes from each of the individuals that exemplify their philosophies. When completing this work, the child should begin by sorting all the cards and placing the pictures across the top of their rug or table. They then read the labels, quotes, and biographies and match them to the pictures.

When finished matching, the child should check their work using the control before recording their work in a journal. This includes writing the label, drawing a picture, and paraphrasing the biography. Children are encouraged to conduct additional research!

Print the material on cardstock, cut on the dotted lines, and laminate if possible.
