  7. Definition of Bullying Graffiti Board and Bearing Witness • What does bullying look like? • What does bullying feel like? • What are the effects of bullying on the individual campers? • What is the effect of bullying on camp as the whole? • What is the role of staff in bullying?

  8. Small Group Role Play • Individuals write a short scenario of bullying at camp that they witnessed, intervened in etc. • In small groups share the scenarios • Select one scenario and ask clarifying questions • Role-play: The person who shared the scenario plays the child in the scenario, the other members all represent the “one voice” of a bystander, parent or counselor. • Debrief: What was achieved? What tools and strategies were used?

  9. Whole Group Role Play • One participant shares their scenario • 3 volunteers ask clarifying questions • Role-play: The 3 volunteers play “one voice” of another person in the story • Actors reflect • Whole Group Debrief • Group conversation about what happened • Round two

  10. Generate Tools and Strategies • Discuss proactive and reactive responses • Proactive responses: Establishing a community where bullying does not need to take place • Reactive responses: Taking action when acts of bullying do take place • Review and reflect • What proactive and reactive responses currently exist in your camp? • What new strategies can you develop and implement to improve your camp’s anti-bullying policies and procedures? • What components can you include in staff training to increase confidence and reduce incidents of bullying?

  11. Sample Tools and Strategies Sample Kids Creative Tools and Strategies • Rules for Play • If someone is sitting out, you have to go ask if they want to play; It’s OK for them to say no, thanks. • If someone wants to play a game, you have to let them, as long as they play by the rules of the game you’re playing • Common creative goal • A story with conflict • Peace and Culture curriculum and staff member • Peace Games and Kids Creative activities
