- The impact of bullying upon others.
The 56 activities include:

- It’s in the Throw of the Dice – Using a dice as a stimulus students discuss what constitutes bullying behaviour
- Mirror, Mirror on the Wall – This allows each student to explore how their behaviour is seen by other students
- Just Bin it – This activity gives students power over the language of taunts and jibes and allows the student to symbolically dispose of them
- Stop, it’s in Your Hands – This will show students that they have the power to help themselves in staying safe
- Choose Me – This activity explores whether students recognise a true description of themselves and how they feel about that description
- Put Yourself in Their Shoes – This is an activity exploring the concept of empathy as they put themselves in the victim’s shoes
- See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil – This activity is for students who may find themselves in situations as bystanders, to develop an understanding about bullying behaviours
- The Feelings Puzzle – This activity looks into the feelings, confidence and self-esteem of the victims and the support they may need
- Confidence: My Story – This activity explores how being bullied can feel and how to move forward
Each activity is laid out with an activity objective, an intended audience, activity instructions and how to end the activity. All of the activities have accompanying activity sheets. Most of the activities can be used discretely as stand-alone activities. However, one or two run consecutively e.g. baseline assessment and subsequent reassessment. Therefore the activities can be selected to address a particular need with a student.
