Standing Up to Bullying

A quick 15-minute mini lesson for 6th grade on bullying prevention. Learn why recognizing and responding to bullying matters.

Greet students and introduce today’s focus: standing up to bullying. Explain that in the next 15 minutes they’ll learn to recognize bullying, understand its impact, and plan safe responses.

What Is Bullying?

• What is bullying?
• Share examples you’ve seen or heard.

Ask: “What is bullying? What examples have you seen or heard?” List responses on the board and emphasize that knowing what bullying looks like is the first step to stopping it.

Play the video and ask students to watch for the behaviors they spot and how the target feels.

Discussion Questions

  1. What bullying behaviors did you notice?
  2. How did the target feel in the video?
  3. What could someone do to help the person being bullied?

Pose each question one at a time. Invite volunteers to share, and jot key ideas on the board.

Response Planning

• Identify the behavior you’d see
• Choose a safe action to help (e.g., tell an adult, offer support)
• Write or draw your response plan

Ask students to think of a scenario they might witness. Have them write or sketch a quick response plan using the prompts on the slide.

Share & Wrap-Up

• Share one response plan

“Notice, care, and act—small steps create a bully-free school.”

Invite 2–3 students to share their response plans. Reinforce the takeaway: small actions build a stronger, safer community.
