Bullying Prevention Activity Set (from preschool to primary school)

Hi! Today, I want to share with you a PDF document that includes several activities designed to help students from preschool to primary school connect with their classmates through kindness and empathy, creating a supportive environment that helps prevent bullying.

Each activity includes the recommended age group, the materials needed, and clear instructions on how to carry it out. The activities are the following:

  • Empathy with Animals: In this activity, children decorate bear faces that represent different emotions (brave, sad, happy, angry). Then, after listening to short stories, they must identify how the character is feeling and choose the bear face that matches the story. Finally, they are asked questions that encourage them to reflect on and talk about their own feelings.


  • Kindness Bingo: This is a bingo game that can be adapted in two ways. First, it can be played as a traditional bingo game, but instead of numbers, the spaces contain positive actions towards others (ex. “say hello to a new friend”, “introduce yourself to a new friend”…). The second version consists of children marking only the kind actions they have actually done over the past week.

  • Community Building in Circle Time: At the beginning of the school day, teachers dedicate a moment to read different reflective questions aloud. Students are given a few minutes to think about their response and then invited to share it with the group. The aim is to encourage introspection and group discussion (ex. “Complete this idea: something that makes me feel brave, is…”).

I believe these are very interesting activities that can be used to help children identify emotions, encourage respect within the classroom group, and promote kindness.

Gender Differences in Bullying

  Gender Differences in Bullying Bullying is a serious problem that happens in many places with children and teenagers like in school in sports and in summer camps I work as a coach and monitor with boys and girls in these kinds of spaces so this topic is important to me One thing that I see often is that bullying is not always the same for boys and girls boys usually show more physical bullying like hitting pushing or shouting girls usually use more relational bullying like ignoring others spreading lies or leaving someone out of the group this is something that many studies say too For example a study by Villardón Gallego et al says that boys are more likely to be involved in direct and physical bullying while girls show more indirect forms like social exclusion or emotional pressure (Villardón Gallego et al 2021) this means that sometimes bullying by girls is harder to see but it can hurt just as much Also according to the International Journal of Environmental Research an...

Audrie and Daisy (my opinions and way of thinking about it)

In this blog post, I brought you a documentary film mostly about 2 girls, Audrie and Daisy who had been sexually assaulted while being filmed and then cyberbullied. Audrie committed suicide in 2012 after all the things and the case happened to her. Daisy also tried to end her life by suicide multiple times right after the sexual crime and cyberbullying, but she was saved by her family every time (unfortunately in 2020, her attempt was fatal).    In the whole documentary we can meet both girls’ family and friends, talking about the things happened, which gives us a more emotional and devastating way of understanding what a sexual assault and cyberbullying can do to one person.   I do not want to give you spoilers or tell you the whole story; therefore, I would like to end my description here and truly advise you to watch it.     According to the World Health Organization, around 1 in 6 adolescents experience cyberbullying day by day and surprisingly and dev...

New Definition of Bullying

 Hi everyone! The World Anti-Bullying Forum, together with UNESCO, created a Working group for establishing a new definition of school bullying. Its new definition keeps the idea that bullying requires unwanted repetitive aggressiveness and imbalance of power, and adds the idea that this power imbalance is supported by societal and institutional norms. The emphasis is now in the idea that bullying is not an affair among students but a social process. The new definition is this one: School bullying is a damaging social process that is characterized by an imbalance of power driven by social (societal) and institutional norms. It is often repeated and manifests as unwanted interpersonal behaviour among students or school personnel that causes physical, social, and emotional harm to the targeted individuals or groups, and the wider school community. You can find the document where it is explained  here . Fes
