We all
know the pain of being gossiped about, teased,
or bullied. These lesson plans help students
explore how these behaviors impact themselves
and others. They build empathy and foster more
caring behaviors.
- Let It Rip! (2 parts) - Bullying and teasing
negatively impact your entire school climate.
Conversely, caring behaviors foster a more
caring environment. With this lesson plan, small
groups of students discuss the ripple effect of
their actions and then create a skit
demonstrating how unkind acts, as well as random
acts of kindness, ripple out into the world.
- Cheap Laughs - Bullying and teasing
frequently involve getting a laugh at the
expense of someone’s feelings. Help students
understand the difference between laughing at
someone and laughing with someone. This lesson
plan includes an activity sheet that provides
students with an opportunity to compare and
contrast "laughing at" and "laughing with."
- What Did You Say? (3 parts) - Remember the
Telephone Game? Some called it the Gossip Game.
Using this childhood game as a springboard, this
activity helps students learn that active
listening skills can help build trust in any
relationship.
- But They Don’t Understand (2 parts) -
Sometimes we need to consider things from the
perspective of others in order to understand.
Students consider a topic, issue, or event with
which they think differently from someone in the
public eye. The student writes from either his
or her perspective and from the perspective of
the person on the opposite side of the
issue.
