10 Activities for Bullying Prevention Month<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Color-Me\u2122 Backpack<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

These backpacks are a great way to spread the message that your classroom or afterschool program is bully free and promote kindness. Have students design their own backpack, and wear them around the facility during Bullying Prevention Month. Take an individual, class, or even school photo of the students and the messages they have created. Post it on the bulletin board to remind children it’s a Bully Free Zone.<\/p>\n

Sneaker Key Rings<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

These little sneakers are perfect for the theme “Stomp Out Bullying”. Have a discussion about bullying, and come up with some other phrases like “Stand Together” or “No Bully Zone” that really have an impact. Each student can use fabric markers to design their own sneaker with an anti-bullying phrase. Pair the kids up and have them introduce their partners, and each student will explain why they chose the message they did. The sneakers can also be traded and clipped to their backpacks.<\/p>\n

Color-Me\u2122 Kites<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kites are a great collaborative art project for anti-bullying month. Have students get into groups and design their kite with markers. Encourage them to choose inspiring messages like the ones below. Explain that bullies tend to put others down, and how it’s important to lift others up and rise above bullying. Then everyone in the group can work together to raise their kites into the air and fly them with a sense of pride and accomplishment!<\/p>\n

Anti-Bullying Pins <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our Color-Me\u2122 heart pins <\/a><\/strong>and round pins<\/a> <\/strong>are great crafts during Bullying Prevention Month. Students of all ages and abilities can decorate them and wear them in October to raise awareness about bullying, and spread the word that their school is a no bully zone. Pins are very visual and if everyone wears one, it can really have an effect and be a reminder for everyone to be a buddy, not a bully. Each classroom can also hang the pins from a scarf or bandana and display it in the classroom as a bulletin board trim or garland.<\/p>\n

Toss ‘n Talk-About\u00ae Anti-Bullying Ball<\/a><\/h2>\n

A more active bully prevention activity, the Toss and Talk-About ball asks questions to children to get the discussion going about bullying. Why does self-confidence discourage someone who is bullying? What would you do if you saw a group of kids that you thought were bullies walking toward you? This ball is a great way to not make kids feel pressured to answer tough questions, because they are part of a game that everyone is participating in. Soon everyone in the group wants to play and it really gets the conversation going.<\/p>\n

Bracelets and keychains will help remind kids throughout the year to be positive role models and spread kindness. Each classroom can collaborate on what anti-bullying message is important to them. Then you can choose which letter beads you need to complete the project. Words like Stand Together and Stand Strong help promote teamwork. Students can then put the finished keychains on their backpacks, and wear the bracelets to help spread the message that bullying is wrong. These also make great fundraising items.<\/p>\n
