This book gives educators and youth leaders a diverse range of activities they can use to help kids in grades 3-6 build empathy, manage anger, work out conflicts, and stop bullying by peers.

 

Featuring 125 mini-lessons that may be completed in 20 minutes or less, the book is a flexible resource that can be used as a stand-alone curriculum or a complement to bullying prevention and character education programs already in place.

 

Student activities - including games, role plays, group discussions, art projects, and language arts exercises - affirm the importance of respect, listening, and kind actions at school. Kids learn skills they can use to calm down and conflict resolution techniques for situations when strong emotions threaten to disrupt the peace.

 

With a focus on preventing teasing, name-calling, fighting, exclusion, and other hurtful actions, No Kidding About Bullying also features activities for when mistreatment is occurring.

 

A CD-ROM includes all of the reproducible handouts from the book. 288 pages. 2010.
