These cards are used by the role play supervisors to cue the mediators as to what to do or say next. They are most helpful when used only when the mediators are stuck or when they are unable to proceed in the mediation process.

Each set of feeling cards may be used in a game of charades. Choose a card and ask a student to demonstrate the feeling on the card. The other students will guess what the feeling is. This is an interactive, engaging way to teach about feelings.

These cards are used by the mediator-trainer in demonstration role plays that show the student mediators how to use a series of mediation techniques with disputants. The trainer will go through the steps of the demonstration role play, then discuss each technique individually.

Use these forms to evaluate the successes and challenges of your program. The forms provide pre and post training responses from Administrators, faculty, and students.
