Anti-Bullying Week Lesson Plans: Choose Respect

Anti-Bullying Week 2018′s theme will be Choose Respect. The main ideas that will be taught within this theme are:

  • The definition of respect

  • That bullying is a behaviour choice

  • That we can respectfully disagree with each other i.e. we don’t have to be best friends or always agree with each other but we do have to respect each other

  • That we all need to choose to respect each other, both face to face and online

We’ve just been checking out The Anti-Bullying Alliances new Primary School Teachers Pack for Anti-Bullying Week 2018. There’s some great ideas for teaching these topics in a fun and interactive way.

We had made the ‘Choose Respect’ theme central to our Anti-Bullying Workshops and Anti-Bullying Shows for Schools this year.

The two main characters in our story (Milly and Philip) learn that they can still treat each other with respect, even if they sometimes disagree. Find out more about our Anti-Bullying Show ‘Becoming An Upstander!’ here.
