Last Tuesday, I finished a training for 6th graders on how to watch for bullying on the playground and remove the victim from the situation, report it and support the victim. Since I started my internship, I have mostly been given this program and put together the sessions. We have talked about feelings, empathy, why people bully, communcation and listening skills and conflict resolution.
One of the activities was to draw a peacemaker - as a superhero, cartoon character, etc. So the last two photos are of them sharing their drawing with the group.
When school starts again in another week, they will have badges and ask victims to walk away from the bully with them. We will also have ongoing meetings with the bully-buddies to support them and discuss any issues that arise.
