Anti-Bullying Week is held during the week in november and is organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. During this week schools across the UK will discuss the topic of bullying, how to deal with it and how to prevent it happening.
There are many other days events held around the world to address bullying including Pink Shirt Day (Canada and NZ), World Day Of Bullying Prevention, also known as Blue Shirt Day (US), National Bullying Prevention Month (US), Bullying No Way Week (Australia) and UNESCO’s International Day against Violence and Bullying at School, including cyberbullying.
These crafts would be a good way to reinforce the anti bullying message in the classroom, mainly for primary age children.
Anti Bullying Craft Ideas
Here are some anti bullying craft ideas for use in the classroom, playgroups, home education and other community groups.
Every member of the class can write a pledge not to bully, or a way to prevent bullying on an outline of their hand.
There are lots of blank hand print templates available online, and we have our own hand outline templates which you can download and print for free.
You could use many different themes for this picture, but I like the play on the word school meaning a group of fish, as well as a place to learn.
For example this next idea:
Clearly inspired by Monsters Inc., this would be great fun for a class art project, especially around Halloween!
There are lots of variations on this puzzle idea, where each kid designs their own puzzle piece and then they are all fitted together at the end.
It is a useful idea for all inclusivity-themed lessons.
These DIY anti-bullying badges would be a good cutting out practice activity which is quick and easy.
These anti-bullying bracelets send out a positive message to children.
Encourage empathy by asking all your students to write a way that they can help others on one link of a paperchain.
Join them together and hang up in your classroom. You could do this as part of your Christmas classroom decorations.
