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.
