Mediation Jeopardy (Sessions #13 and #14) Rules: The class is broken up into four groups.

. Each group is given a stack of color-coded slips of scrap paper. A score-board is drawn on the board, as well as a jeopardy board (with categories and point values) Choose a group to pick the first category and point-value. As each question is asked, ALL of the groups write down their answers on their scrap paper, and then turn them in. Whichever groups give a correct answer (or well thought out answer, if that is the kind of question it is) get points. Choose one of the groups which got it right to pick the next question. Tally points, but save the score and unanswered questions to finish the following week. Categories and Questions: Note: This does not include an answer key because most of these questions are too open-ended for that. Use your best judgment and refer to the mediation packet.
Rules and Procedure 100 After you have defined the problem and gotten facts and feelings about what happened from both parties, what do you do next? 200 Without looking at your sheet, name TWO of the points you go over during your opening statement. Bonus: 10 points for each additional statement. 300 Before you mediate, what things do you need to discuss with your comediator? 400 At what point in the mediation do you as a mediator tell the parties what you think they need to do to solve the problem? 500 Name at least one reason why you would ask to speak to one of the parties or your co-mediator in private during a mediation? Bonus: 100 points extra for each additional correct reason

Questions 100 What is one question you would ask to find out more about the FACTS of a situation Bonus: 10 pts. For each additional good question. 200 What is one question you would ask to find out more about what a party is or was FEELING? Bonus: 20 pts. For each additional good question. 300 You are mediating a conflict between two 4th graders who got in a fight on the playground. Each party has just told you his version of what happened. What do you ask next? 400 You are mediating a conflict between two students who were insulting each other back and forth in class until a fight broke out. It started when one student asked a question and the other called her stupid. A teacher referred them to mediation. What is one question that you would ask to help them brainstorm a good solution? Bonus: 40 pts for each additional question. 500 You are asked to mediate a fight that broke out in the hallways. After both parties tell you how it started, you suspect that they were already angry with each other over something else and were looking for an excuse to have another argument. If you think that something else you dont know about is really the problem, and not the reasons the parties gave what could you ask them to try and find out more, without telling them that you dont believe their stories? Bonus: 100 points if you can come up with a list of 2 or more questions that go together to explore this problem

Miscellaneous 100 True or False: An agreement should include all of the facts which the parties agree on about what happened. 200 Name two things which make for a good agreement. Bonus: 20 pts for each additional correct response. 300 Visual Daily Double! Poor listening. 400 The mediation has just started. You have gone over the opening statement and one party has just told you what happened from his perspective, while you took notes. What do you do next? 500 What five letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?

What would you do when . . . 100 While you are taking notes about what Billy is saying, Bob interrupts him and angrily accuses him of lying. What do you do? 200 You are asked to mediate a conflict and one of the parties is a close friend of yours. The other party never speaks to you. What do you do? 300 One party says something very important that you want to make sure the other party heard. She said how important it was to her that she still be friends with the other party. What could you do as a mediator to re-enforce this point? 400 The two parties in a mediation have reached an agreement, but you think that one party is being pressured by the other to accept an agreement which is not fair to her. What will you do? 500 It seems to you like neither party is giving you real answers. They are not really engaged, they are looking away from table and giving one-word responses. When it comes time to brainstorm solutions, neither party is coming up with any ideas. Both of them seem like they dont want to be there and are just going through the motions. What do you do?
