Lesson Plan

Be a Buddy, Not a Bully Lesson Plan

Students will identify the impact of teasing on classmates, practice empathetic responses, and co-create a classroom “Buddy” agreement to promote respect and kindness.

Building a supportive class community reduces teasing, fosters empathy, and creates a safe learning environment where all students feel valued.
