Lesson Plan

Be A Buddy Lesson Plan

Students will learn to identify bullying versus kindness, practice empathetic responses through role-play, and commit to being supportive friends by creating a class pledge.

Early awareness of bullying helps students recognize unkind behavior, build empathy, and foster a positive classroom where everyone feels safe and respected.
