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 HeartComplete 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!
