What to Do

Choose a dirt path, sand, snow, or soft ground.

Have children walk it in three different ways:

1. fast and stomping

2. rushed and uneven

3. slow, steady, and gentle

Stop and look at the footprints after each pass.

What Children Notice

• Fast steps leave messy, overlapping prints

• Gentle steps leave clear, even footprints

Peace Connection

Peace is not about stopping movement — it’s about choosing a steady pace.

Child truth: “Gentle steps help me stay calm.”
