1. Third Grade Curriculum

2. Hi, I’m Max. I’m here to talk about BULLYING. Do you know what Bullying is?

3. What is BULLYING? How would YOU define bullying?

4. What is BULLYING? How would YOU define bullying? Bullying is when someone is mean to another person ON PURPOSE and MORE THAN ONCE. Bullying is also NOT equal between kids – the bully is being mean, and the target isn’t mad at all.

5. Can BULLYING happen by accident? No! Bullying is done ON PURPOSE. Sometimes kids do things that hurt others by accident.

6. What if a bully just SAYS it was an accident, but it wasn’t? Does that ever happen?

7. What if a bully just SAYS it was an accident, but it wasn’t? Does that ever happen? It COULD be an accident. But if someone is mean to another kid more than once, it’s probably not an accident.

8. What if it just happens once, and it’s never happened before? Bullying happens MORE than one time. Sometimes kids get mad and say something mean, but they don’t do it again. That’s not the same as bullying.

9. What do you think – Is this BULLYING? You broke my DS! I’m mad at you! I didn’t! You’re always blaming me.

10. Was that bullying? Write down your answer – YES or NO

11. Let’s see how much YOU know! Did you write NO? That was NOT bullying. Both kids were mad at each other. One kid wasn’t being “picked on.” If you wrote NO, give yourself a Point!

12. Let’s see how much YOU know! Ready? Let’s try another one.

13. What do you think – Is this BULLYING? Awesome pillow fight! Take that! Ouch – you hit my nose!

14. Was that bullying? Write down your answer – YES or NO

15. Let’s see how much YOU know! Once again, that was NOT bullying. They were having a pillow fight and someone got hurt – almost certainly by accident. She wasn’t TRYING to be mean. If you wrote NO, give yourself a Point!

16. Let’s see how much YOU know! Of course, if she was trying to hit her MORE THAN ONE TIME, then maybe it’s NOT an accident. That does happen.

17. Let’s see how much YOU know! Ready? Let’s try one more.

18. What do you think – Is this BULLYING? Why don’t you ever just leave me alone? You are such a LOSER. Every day I make you cry!

19. Was that bullying? Write down your answer – YES or NO

20. Let’s see how much YOU know! I bet you got this right – that WAS bullying. Do you know WHY it was bullying?

21. Let’s see how much YOU know! It was Bullying because the bully was being mean on purpose, and not just one time. The target wasn’t mad – he was sad and scared. If you wrote YES, give yourself a Point!

22. Let’s see how much YOU know! How many of you got all 3 points? Raise your hands! Awesome!

23. Don’t forget….. Not everything is bullying. When you do see bullying, be a friend and tell an adult. Bye now!
