Grades: 1-3
October is BULLYING PREVENTION month.
What Is Bullying?
It's bullying if:
• one person is hurting another with unwanted words or behavior, and
• the person being hurt has a hard time making it stop.
• The behavior is repeated or has the potential to be repeated.
• The kids who are doing it have more power.*
*“Power” can mean the person bullying is older, bigger or stronger, more popular, or there’s a group of kids who “gang up” on someone.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
ACTIVITY
United for Kindance, Acceptance, and Inclusion
I pledge to always INCLUDE others.
What are some examples of not including others?
Does it hurt someone’s feelings not to be included?
In the video, there was the line, “I put myself down”. -What does this mean? What can you do to help?
In the video, there is a line: “I’m learning to stand up to bullying.”
• Have you heard the term “self-advocacy?” What do you think it means?
• How is self-advocacy important in addressing and responding to bullying?
I pledge to ACCEPT those who are different from me.
“I don’t bully.”
“I am different.”
“Don’t make fun of me.”
I pledge to always try to use KIND WORDS and actions to others.
“It makes me feel sad.”
“It hurts my feelings.”
“It’s better to be a friend.”
I pledge to stand TOGETHER in my school against BULLYING.
“Bullying is hurting too many people in this world.”
A powerful way to address bullying is for students to support other students.
“tall, short, skinny, or round, you have a voice, so make a sound, never meant to be the same.”
“You have to care.”

WORDS HURT!
Bones heal, but left unchecked, the pain caused by words can last a lifetime.
We can all relate, I’m sure!
A word said that stayed with us too long.
A word spoken we wish we could take back.
A word unsaid we wished we had said.
Whether we heard it, spoke it, or wished it to be said, one thing is for sure - words, or lack thereof, have a profound impact on our well-being and the way we see ourselves in relation to the world.
