  Case: Recess and tattling
I cannot tell you how often students will come back from recess with issues and tattling on each other. I am not down there for the incident and the teacher that is does not see what is going on or the students do not address it when they are down there. I am flattered that our classroom and I am a safe place and person for them but I have a lot of difficulty getting to the bottom of things and I feel like I waste a lot of class time trying to deal with it.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would explain to the children as a whole, and a universal rule that if they cannot resolve an issue between each other, it will be discussed during play time. I would explain to them how important it is to work out what is going on between them if no one is physically hurt. I would mandate that if there is tattling, you will discuss it during their "play center time", during "snack time", "free time", "specials" or during recess the next day. For them, these are the times the look forward to most which may encourage children to work it out themselves. I would try to find the time they don't want to miss to have a "meeting" about the incident between who was involved. If they come to you during class, just remind them that they can spend their favorite free time at the teacher's desk discussing what happened while everyone else gets to enjoy this sacred break.

Comments: Your approach of setting a universal rule for conflict resolution during their preferred play and free times is a practical way to encourage students to work out their issues independently.
