Make kindness and empathy part of bullying prevention with this brief resource from Share My Lesson. Created for National Bullying Prevention Month, the resource directs teachers to the Rules of Kindness campaign, which gives children and teens tools to stop bullying and help prevent it by building empathy and kindness. Teachers can use the linked campaign materials and kindness lesson plans to move beyond identifying hurtful behavior and focus on positive actions students can take to create a more caring classroom or school community. The Share My Lesson entry itself contains little instructional content, so teachers will need to use the linked external resources to build out the lesson.

Help students explore the emotional impact of bullying through a hands-on, small-group activity centered on a symbolic heart. Students begin by filling a large paper heart with positive words associated with a newborn, then consider how hurtful words, stereotypes, and bullying can damage a person's self-image. As the activity progresses, students mark the heart to represent hurtful language and add shields representing ways people may cope with emotional pain. Guided writing, group discussion, and a whole-class debrief encourage students to consider the lasting power of words, recognize coping behaviors, and develop greater empathy for others. Designed for middle and high school students, the activity takes approximately 50 minutes and works best in groups of at least four.
tag(s): bullying (55), empathy (80), social and emotional learning (220)
In the Classroom
Have students complete the Heart Exercise in groups of four or more, adding positive words, hurtful words, and symbolic shields to their group's heart before discussing how each stage changes its appearance and meaning. Have pairs compare supportive and hurtful communication with the Interactive 2 Circle Venn Diagram by Read Write Think, reviewed here, then ask each pair to identify behaviors that can help repair relationships. Invite small groups to brainstorm healthy ways someone might cope with hurtful words, then post their ideas on a Padlet Sandbox, reviewed here, for a class collection of supportive strategies.

Give students straightforward strategies for handling cyberbullying with this short video from the Federal Trade Commission. Using situations familiar to young people, including texting, commenting, sharing, gossip, rumors, and hurtful online messages, the video emphasizes that respectful behavior matters online just as it does face-to-face. Students learn practical steps for responding to online harassment, including avoiding retaliation, blocking or ignoring the person when possible, saving evidence if the behavior continues, asking an adult for help, and standing up for someone experiencing cyberbullying. The video closes by encouraging students to treat others as they would like to be treated and to stop and think before clicking. Downloadable MP4 and WMV versions make the video convenient for classroom use even when streaming is impractical.

Put students in the decision-maker's seat with this ready-to-use collection of anti-bullying scenarios for primary and secondary schools. Designed for Anti-Bullying Ambassadors to lead with their peers during assemblies or workshops, the activity encourages young people to discuss bullying behavior, consider what they could do if they witnessed it, and explore the importance of becoming an Upstander. Separate primary and secondary versions let educators choose age-appropriate situations, and the scenarios can also inspire students to write situations based on issues relevant to their own school community. The activity works particularly well for peer-led discussion, role-play, and bullying-prevention programs.

"SEL 101: What Are the Core Competencies and Key Settings?" is a brief animated overview of CASEL's social and emotional learning framework. The video introduces five interconnected competencies -- self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making -- and shows how SEL develops across classrooms, schools, families, caregivers, and communities. It works well as a concise introduction for educators, families, or older students before a discussion, a professional learning session, or a deeper study of SEL. The video is free to view without an account, although YouTube may display advertising, collect viewing data, suggest unrelated videos, and be unavailable in districts that block YouTube.

The Globe Trottin' Kids article "Mandela Day: 67 Minutes of Service" introduces students to Nelson Mandela Day and encourages them to honor Nelson Mandela's legacy through acts of service and kindness. The article explains the significance of dedicating 67 minutes to helping others--representing Mandela's 67 years of public service--and provides age-appropriate ideas such as organizing food or clothing drives, helping neighbors, cleaning community spaces, and volunteering. In addition to service-learning ideas, the site recommends books on Nelson Mandela and South Africa, as well as links to geography and culture activities that help students learn more about the country. This resource is a great way to combine character education, global awareness, citizenship, and community service in the classroom.
