Conflict Resolution Thumball

The Conflict Resolution Thumball™ is a unique, hands-on tool designed to help individuals and organizations navigate and resolve conflicts. With 32 pre-printed conflict resolution and peer mediation questions on its panels, this Thumball encourages thoughtful reflection, open dialogue, and constructive problem-solving.

Ideal for one-on-one sessions, peer mediation, or small group activities, participants simply toss the ball, read the question under their thumb, and respond as it relates to the conflict at hand. This process helps shift conversations from blame to understanding, making finding common ground and effective solutions easier.
