Topic: What is Bullying? (Pre-K & Kindergarten)
10 Minutes
Goal
Students will understand that bullying is Several Times On Purpose (S.T.O.P.) and practice responding with a strong "stop" and telling a grown-up.
Introduction: The S.T.O.P. Rule
"Friends, sometimes we are mean by accident, but bullying is different. Bullying is when someone is mean S.T.O.P."
- S - Several (More than once)
- T - Times (Again and again)
- O - On
- P - Purpose (They meant to do it)

Pro-Tip
Keep it simple. At this age, focus on the feeling in their tummy. If their tummy feels "yucky" because of a friend, they should tell a teacher.
