Meeting of the Minds

Meeting of the Minds is an educational board game specifically designed to teach students important knowledge and skills in conflict resolution. In the game, students answer questions about conflict resolution and must use a win-win strategy to resolve conflicts. It is designed for students in grades 5 - 8.

Players earn points in two ways. They can earn points by answering questions correctly. These questions come up when the players pick "Conflict Resolution" and "True-Flase" cards. The game creates conflicts among the players and they can also win points by successfully resolving these conflicts. As a result, the players are involved in two learning processes simultaneously - (1) learning the knowledge and skills for successful conflict resolution and (2) applying the knowledge and skills while playing the game. Players are therefore cooperating in finding solutions and competing at the same time. This dynamic relationship leads to a very exciting game.
