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): empathy (80), bullying (56), social and emotional learning (235)
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.

Turn bullying prevention into an integrated month of learning with this ready-to-use collection of lessons, activities, reproducibles, literature connections, and assessment materials for grades 3-5. Centered on empathy, kindness, acceptance, positive communication, and safe responses to bullying, the resource includes lessons such as "The Problem with Bullying," "Mean Words Hurt," "Helping Our Friends Stop Bullying," "The Other Person's Shoes," "Just Kidding," and "Courageous and Safe." Students examine teasing and bullying, practice being positive bystanders, distinguish asking for help from tattling, and consider when to seek adult assistance. Printable materials include vocabulary activities, a word find, scenario-based worksheets, a game, writing and drawing prompts, and a culminating bullying quiz. Cross-curricular extension ideas connect the theme with language arts, literature, art, music, and math.
tag(s): social and emotional learning (235), empathy (80), bullying (56)
In the Classroom
Have students complete the "The Problem with Bullying" activity, then discuss nonviolent responses such as staying calm, using I-messages, saying "stop," avoiding fighting, and seeking help from a trusted adult. Ask students to examine the "Just Kidding" scenarios individually, decide when joking crosses the line into hurtful teasing, and defend their decisions with evidence from each situation. Follow with a whole-class discussion about how intent and impact can differ. Have students create a cartoon showing a situation in which asking an adult for help is appropriate, as suggested by the resource. Students can draw their cartoons on paper or use Free Comic Maker by Adobe, reviewed here, to create a digital version.

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.

Ask students to include dialogue that demonstrates what a peer could realistically say or do. Invite small groups to develop an Upstander awareness presentation using AhaSlides, reviewed here.

Have students listen to an episode related to a current history unit and record three key facts, one surprising detail, and one question they still want to investigate. Have students place the people, discoveries, conflicts, or events from an episode in chronological context with the Timeline Tool by ReadWriteThink, reviewed here, then explain which events were causes, turning points, or consequences. Have students choose an unusual person or event from local, national, or world history, research it carefully, and script their own concise history segment modeled on the podcast's "You Have 30 Seconds" activity. The podcast specifically encourages children to write and read their own 30-second historical segments, with a parent or guardian handling the recording and emailing the work to the show if submitted.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
