Teacher’s/Leader’s Guide for ® Bullying hurts! Page 2—Bullying hurts! Ask students what they know about bullying and if they have seen it take place—emphasize not to use names. Write down their responses on a flip chart, to discuss again after reading the workbook. Have students do the drawing activity using one of these ideas or examples or another one of their own. Help counter the common misunderstanding that anyone should expect or accept bullying as a normal part of growing up. Consider inviting a school counselor or a law enforcement officer to talk about how some kinds of bullying could be crimes.

This activity can help students understand the difference between normal conflict and bullying (be sure students understand the phrase “mean streak”). Bullying involves repeated mean behaviors (including telling rumors or lies) and an imbalance of power. To help students identify bullying, present several scenarios. Ask them to say why each is or is not bullying. Examples: • A 5th-grade boy stops a 3rd-grade boy outside school each morning to demand his lunch money. [Bullying—the boy is older and perhaps bigger and keeps repeating the behavior.] • A girl wants to join others who are playing jump rope. She keeps breaking in on others’ turns so they’ll ask her. [Not bullying—the girl needs better social skills, but is not trying to be mean.] • A child accidentally trips on someone’s foot while playing ball with friends and they all laugh. [Not bullying, but the child might see the laughing as unkind.] Supports Language Standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.5c CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.5c CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.2.5a CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.6 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.6 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.2.6 Supports Speaking & Listening Standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.K.1b CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.1.1b,c CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.2.1b,c The activities below can help reinforce the material in this Know What? ® workbook when used in the classroom.
