Understanding U.N. International Day of Peace in EYFS & KS1
Let's make peace! šļø The U.N. International Day of Peace, often simply called Peace Day, is observed globally every year on September 21st. Established by the United Nations, this day is dedicated to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. It's a day for a global ceasefire and non-violence, calling on everyone to honour a cessation of hostilities.
For early years settings, nurseries, preschools, childminders, and Year 1 and Year 2 classrooms, this day provides a profound and universally relevant theme for exploring kindness, friendship, empathy, and conflict resolution. It's about teaching children the foundations of peaceful coexistence, understanding different emotions, and learning how to treat others with respect and compassion. This day offers fantastic planning ideas and inspiration for engaging activities that truly resonate with young minds, making learning about social harmony and emotional well-being both meaningful and impactful.
Why Is Teaching About Peace & Kindness Important for Young Children?
Integrating lessons about peace and kindness into your practice with young children (aged 0-7) is incredibly important for fostering their social-emotional development, moral compass, and ability to navigate relationships positively. During their early years, children are learning crucial social behaviours and understanding their impact on others.
Empathy and Compassion: Discussing peace and kindness helps children understand and share the feelings of others, fostering a caring attitude.
Conflict Resolution: Learning about peaceful ways to solve problems (sharing, taking turns, talking) provides essential life skills.
Emotional Intelligence: Exploring feelings associated with peace (happiness, calm) and conflict (sadness, anger) helps children manage their own emotions and understand those of their peers. Our emotions - 'why is teddy sad?' activity pack and emotions - 'why is teddy happy?' activity pack are excellent for this.
Building Positive Relationships: Promoting kindness and friendship lays the groundwork for healthy, supportive interactions.
Creating a Positive Environment: A focus on peace helps to cultivate a calm, respectful, and inclusive classroom or setting.
Global Citizenship: Even at a young age, children can begin to grasp the idea of peace extending beyond their immediate environment to the wider world.
Engaging Peace & Kindness Activities for U.N. International Day of Peace (0-7 Year Olds)
Make International Day of Peace a truly harmonious and thoughtful experience with these planning ideas and activities perfect for EYFS and KS1 children. The focus is on compassion, connection, and understanding! Many of these early years and year 1 activities can be supported by the extensive range of printable resources we have available.
Here's some inspiration for nurturing peace and kindness in your setting: (Please use your own discretion and knowledge of your children to ensure appropriateness of each activity and safety concerning any materials given and activity undertaken.)
Acts of Kindness Challenge: Encourage and celebrate daily acts of kindness. Use āActs of Kindnessā activity and displayā to inspire and track kind deeds. Our let's show kindness - activity prompt poster and let's show kindness - activity prompt cards offer more prompts.
"What Makes a Good Friend?" Discussion: Explore the qualities that make someone a good friend and how these contribute to peace. Use our āKindness and friendship - āwhat makes a good friendā mark making sheetsā for children to draw or write their ideas.
Friendship Card Making: Provide materials for children to create cards for their friends, expressing appreciation. Our 'Friendship' and Thank-you for being my friend!' cards can be helpful in this.
"My Lovely Friend" Activities: Encourage children to draw or write about a special friend using 'My Lovely Friend' mark making sheets.
Connecting with Others: Facilitate activities that encourage positive interactions. Our āLet's Connect with each otherā - activity prompt poster and āLet's Connect with each otherā - activity prompt cards offer great ideas for interaction.
Sharing and Fairness: Play games or engage in activities that require sharing and taking turns. Our āBeach - who will share this shell?ā can be a fun prompt for discussing fairness.
Peaceful Play Scenarios: Set up role-play areas that promote cooperation and peaceful interaction. An 'At our picnic we...' display can encourage sharing and enjoying time together.
Kindness Display & Awards: Create a "Peace and Kindness" display. Use our āKindness and Friendship - display certificates/notesā to celebrate children's kind actions and positive friendships.
Drawing/Writing About Peace: Provide sheets for children to express what peace means to them, or to draw situations where people are being kind and peaceful, using āActs of kindnessā mark making/drawing/writing sheet.
Story Time: Books on Peace and Friendship: Read age-appropriate books that explore themes of friendship, kindness, resolving conflicts peacefully, and understanding differences.
These activities offer great inspiration for making U.N. International Day of Peace a memorable and impactful experience in your early years and Key Stage One setting, fostering social-emotional development, empathy, and a lifelong commitment to peace.

This role-play activity pack is designed to introduce children to the idea of an election, and the decision process involved in voting.
It is completely non-partisan and unrelated to any real-world political parties/views.
1. An adult reads out the āpitchā from each fictitious candidate and then the children are encouraged to discuss anything they might not understand about the proposals, asking the impartial adult for guidance. Let them know that their vote will be secret, but they can talk about it if they wish.
2. (A possible extension at this point could be to get the children to think about their own views and the views of others. For example, a child may think they would vote for the second candidate because they dislike painting. However, all of their friends may love painting. What is best for the group?)
3. Show the children one of the election voting forms and relate the images to the candidates discussed. Show them the process of going to the Polling Station, getting the form, marking an X in just one box, folding the paper in half and putting in the ballot box.
4. As the adult removes the forms from the ballot box and announces the votes for each candidate, the tally sheet can be filled in to find the winner!
5. (Second possible extension - the children can fill in their own tally sheets to count the votes!)
Enjoy this activity with the voters of the future! We hope this helps!
