This bullying prevention guidance lesson teaches elementary students what bullying is, who is involved and how to respond. The lesson combines a definition slide, two visual charts, a partner discussion and an upstander video, and it presents four ways to stand up for others along with a clear explanation of tattling versus reporting.
The lesson is included as an editable PowerPoint and a Google Slides version, so the wording can be adjusted for any class. This bullying lesson is a complete option for counselors comparing bullying lesson plans for elementary classrooms, and it is designed for students in grades 1-5.
Students will learn how to:
⭐ Define bullying as intentional, aggressive behavior that is repeated over time
⭐ Distinguish an accident or a one-time unkind act from bullying
⭐ Identify the roles of the bully, the target and the bystander
⭐ Choose an upstander action: be a buddy, interrupt, speak out or tell someone
⭐ Determine when telling an adult is reporting rather than tattling

How it works:
What Is Bullying?
A definition slide and a flow chart explain how an accident or a one-time unkind act differs from bullying.
Be an Upstander
After the upstander video, students review four ways to help someone who is being bullied.
Think, Pair, Share
Partners discuss three questions about their own experiences and how they can help others.
Tattling vs. Reporting
A side-by-side chart shows that reporting keeps someone safe, while tattling is about getting someone in trouble.
Why you'll love this lesson:
⭐ Ready to teach as written, with editable slides for any group
⭐ Partner discussion keeps every student engaged
⭐ Well suited to Bullying Prevention Month in October
⭐ The guide links to additional bullying prevention activities for extending the lesson
