Teaching conflict resolution for young children mostly consists of modeling appropriate responses and encouraging the children to follow your lead. Example:
Child 1 takes a toy from Child 2, who then hits Child 1-
Teacher to Child 1: "Wow, Ben didn't like it when you took that toy from him. It made him very mad at you."
Teacher to Child 2: "I see that it made you mad when Josh took that toy from you. It was not kind to hit. Tell him that you didn't like it when he took your toy."
Child 2: "I don't like that."
Teacher to Child 2: "Good job telling him how you felt."
Teacher to Child 1: "You need to give Ben his toy back, and ask him if you can have it instead of taking it from him."
Child 1: "Can I have that toy when you are done?"
Teacher to Child 1: "Great asking. Now we'll set the timer for 3 minutes and you can have a turn next."

It is all about facilitating the conversation to an appropriate level for the age of the children, and modeling the responses you would like them to have. As long as you are consistent in what you expect of them and are there to help them along, they will get it and eventually you will hear them saying the words on their own.
