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 high school students build a clear, research-based understanding of bullying with this concise Share My Lesson resource. The material introduces bullying through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definition, emphasizing unwanted aggressive behavior, an observed or perceived power imbalance, repetition or the likelihood of repetition, and the potential for physical, psychological, social, or educational harm. The resource then directs learners to an American University School of Education infographic for additional information about preventing bullying. This is a brief resource rather than a detailed, step-by-step lesson, so teachers will likely want to add discussion, analysis, scenarios, or a student response activity.

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.

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): bullying (56), empathy (80), social and emotional learning (221)
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.

Turn digital citizenship and technology skills into short, game-like challenges with CyberKinder Quests. Children choose interactive adventures led by CyberKinder characters and work through levels and modules covering coding and problem-solving, privacy and online safety, digital citizenship, artificial intelligence, and technology literacy. Current quests include Pixi's Star Chase for block-based coding, Max's Hack Attack for passwords, privacy, scams, and online safety, Luna's Chat Lab for cyberbullying and online communication, Wizzy's Reality Cauldron for evaluating online and AI-generated information, Glitch in the Machine for understanding how internet technology works, and Tube Trouble for safer video-app use. Activities emphasize making choices and practicing skills rather than simply reading information. The free version includes every quest and lesson, but limits play through a daily "spark" allowance.

The game is part of a broader collection that includes videos, discussion questions, activities, skill-building lessons, and facilitator materials. The Sports Museum describes Boston vs. Bullies as an educational program that uses the power and example of Boston sports to help stop bullying in schools and communities.

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.

Cyber Choices is an interactive educational game developed by MediaSmarts for students in grades 3-5. Presented in an engaging online comic-book format with audio support for developing readers, the game lets students explore four stories that address key issues, including making informed choices about personal information, dealing with cyberbullying (as both a target and a witness), and managing online conflict. At critical points in each story, students practice decision-making skills by evaluating the reasons behind different choices, which leads to multiple possible endings. The game includes a comprehensive Teacher's Guide with detailed instructions, classroom activities, handouts, and links to additional resources to support meaningful discussions and reinforce digital citizenship concepts in the classroom.

Have students draw a short comic strip showing two different outcomes based on a single online decision (ex., sharing a password vs. keeping it private). They can create the comic strip digitally using ToonyTool reviewed here. Hold a "circle discussion" where you read out a situation similar to one in the game. Each student shares how they would respond and why, practicing respectful listening and explaining their understanding of digital responsibility. After playing the game, work as a class to create a "Cyber Code" -- a list of 5-7 rules or promises about how to act kindly and safely online. Post it somewhere visible and refer back to it during future tech use.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
