World Peace & Other 4th Grade Achievements
The World Peace Game, a brainchild of public school teacher John Hunter, pits
teams of students against each other as leaders of countries in crises and
conflict. The students scheme and negotiate, compete and cooperate, wage war and
make peace. But the game is not won until all countries enjoy security and
prosperity.
Says one fourth grader, "One of the things I learned is that other people matter. In this game one person can't win, everyone has to win. That taught me a lot about cooperating with other people, being generous, and having an attitude that, if you work together, you can achieve anything."
