Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/31/2016 -- John Hunter, educator and inventor, is a guest on Caught Between Generations Radio with Dr. Merle Griff, Thursday, September 1, 2016 at 1PM PDT/ 4PM EDT on the VoiceAmerica Health & Wellness Channel. Hunter shares how students develop skills to solve the world's problems with collective wisdom, and as much peace as possible, through his World Peace Game.

In over thirty years of teaching, Hunter has observed how students play the game and become compassionate leaders who experience the interconnectedness of relationships and develop a unique understanding their decisions have on others.

"Over many generations of students, I have seen amazing inventiveness and innovation — creative thinking and problem solving that I could have not begun to imagine myself. They continually exhibit the will to do good, and a commitment to the tireless work of negotiating and renegotiating until everyone wins," Hunter explains his follow-up book, World Peace and Other 4th-Grade Achievements.

When students have opportunities to make decisions for the world, what they can accomplish together is remarkable.

The Core Principles of the World Peace Game

The game structure is a tower made of four 4' x 4' sheets of Plexiglas threaded through five metal poles, one in each corner with a stabilizing pole in the center. Countries and land masses are made of cardboard. Everything relevant to the circumstances of each country is denoted through the game pieces. Given the physical constraints of the classroom and the time constraints of a teacher's schedule, it is easy to see how this game could be developed into a virtual learning game designed around the same learning outcomes of higher order critical thinking, creative problem solving, collaboration and teaming, and global stewardship.
