1. The purpose of this activity is to facilitate a discussion with students about feelings 

around bullying. You should use a puppet, doll, or stuffed animal. Give the animal a 

name like “Jack” or “Jill.” Show the doll to the class and introduce them. 

2. Tell the class that “some things have happened to the doll, ie. “Jill” at school. I want you 

help me understand how this makes Jill feel.”

3.Tell them about each of the following things in turn and after each, ask students “How do 

you think this makes Jill feel?”

-  Someone told Jill “You’re not my friend.”

- Someone told Jill “You can’t play” when everyone else was playing.

- Someone hit Jill on purpose. 

- Someone called Jill a dummy and told her no one liked her.

- Someone took Jill’s cookie at lunch and wouldn’t give it back. 

4. Tell them that these are all examples of bullying and remind them that 

bullying is when 

someone does something on purpose to make you feel bad or hurts you and it’s hard 

to make them stop.

5. Tell them “it isn’t good to bully because it makes people feel bad.”

6. Conclude the session by coming up with 3-

5 classroom rules against bullying with the 

students.
