STOMP OUT BULLYING!

 Monday October 7th

Bullying. What is it?

Bullying is unfair and one sided. It

happens when someone keeps
hurting, frightening, threatening, or
leaving someone out on purpose.
 Have you ever been bullied?
Without using names tell us
about it and how it made you
feel.

Complete paper activity.

 Paper Heart
Complete the activity in the teacher notes. When you are done ask the
following questions:
1. Is it possible to get the wrinkles out?
2. The wrinkles are what happens to a human being
who gets bullied. Ask the students: does anyone
have the right to leave wrinkles on another human
being? Does anyone have the right to hurt someone
else?
3. If you witness a person being bullied or they tell
you they have been bullied how can you help
smooth their wrinkles?
We can never 100% get rid of the
wrinkles but what could we do to
help the student who has been
bullied?
Give small groups a band aid and have the
students work in groups to come up with
some ideas to help the student who has
been bullied. Write the ideas on the band
aids and have the student glue/tape it on the
wrinkled heart. Review the ideas and hang
the heart in your classroom room.
EACH OF YOU CAN BE PART OF
THE SOLUTION TO STOMP OUT
BULLYING!
