Anti-Bullying: How Words and Actions Effect Others - The Crinkled Heart FREE Activity

These Anti-Bullying resources are a great way to open up open and frank discussions with your class surrounding the topic of bullying.
We recommend setting a set of class ground rules and keeping the discussion boundaried, whilst also allowing the children to ask questions when appropriate. These resources encourage children to think about the effects of bullying on not only themselves but also others. The aim is to foster a community of respect, understanding and empathy towards others inside and beyond the classroom.
How could this resource be used?
- To support with building an anti-bullying culture within school.
- To provide children with vocabulary to understand bullying and inappropriate behaviour.
