For our peace circle yesterday, upper elementary students researched Tibetan Prayer Flags. The flags carry mantras including peace, compassion, strength and wisdom. Each color symbolizes something:
blue for sky/space
white for air or wind
red for fire
green for water
yellow for earth

Each student had the opportunity to create their own flags, with images and words that they wanted to spread throughout the world.
These are great!
