“Take Action”
Relational Aggression
Patch Program
Bullies, Targets and Bystanders…all are
part of the Relational Aggression
equation. In this patch program, we
can work toward empowering girls to
“Take Control” over this problem that
seems to be spread through girls’ lives today. Girls complete this patch to
discover, connect and take action to learn how to get out of the
problem and be part of the SOLUTION.
Bullying isn’t just a middle-school thing and it is NOT “A RIGHT OF PASSAGE”
as so many people say. It starts in preschool, getting more prevalent in
elementary school, seems to peak during the middle school years, and
declines during high school. Except for hazing, we do not hear much about
bullying in colleges and universities. We do hear about abusive spouses and
workplace bullies, however, which underscore the fact that bullying is a
learned behavior that must be unlearned. Bullies don't just grow up and grow
out of it. We end up working with them, meeting them in our daily lives and
at times “they” might actually be our daughters. What is important is that all
people involved must be taught better ways of relating to others.
That's where you come in. As a Girl Scout leader, you have witnessed the
bullying yourself, or you've heard the reports or rumors. You believe that
young people have the right to feel safe, secure, accepted, and valued at
school and at youth activities, free from teasing, name-calling, harassment,
threats, intimidation, violence, and fear. And since Girl Scouts is supposed to
be a SAFE SPACE for all girls, it is imperative that we make our meetings free
from this behavior.
By helping the girls in your troop participate in the following activities you are
promoting intervention and prevention. It's not enough to stop the bullying
that's already happening; we also need to keep students who aren't yet
bullies or victims from starting down that road. Pat yourself on the back for
wanting to be a part of the Solution!
Thank you for serving the girls!

Discover, Connect, Take ACTION!
Keeping aligned with the Leadership Model of the Girl Scouts, the following
activities are delineated into the three areas of Leadership: Discover, Connect and Take Action activities.
This program was developed by the Program Department of the Girl Scouts of
Tanasi Council, Inc. It has been adapted from the Girl Scouts of Colorado Council’s
“Power Up” Anti-Bullying (Relational Aggression) Program as well as other materials,
experience and knowledge of seeing the need for girls to recognize the issue
(DISCOVER), realize how the problem affects them and others (CONNECT) and that
they can do something about it and do it! (TAKE ACTION)

Discover
Safe Space
Required: 1st-12th grades
Objective
Establish group culture, norms, peer accountability and common purpose
Girls create a space where kindness thrives and girls feel comfortable sharing
sensitive issues.
Materials:
- Markers
- 3 pieces of 8 ½ x 11 cardstock
- Girl Scout Mission Statement
Procedure:
• Check out Tips before beginning. Introduce a “talking object” to the girls.
This can be anything from a feather to a stone to a Koosh ball to a decorated stick.
When you have the object, you can talk. If not, remain silent, be respectful.
• Talk to girls about the MEANING of Girl Scouting. “We need to decide how
we’re going to act and treat each other when we’re together. Pretend I’m an
alien. I have no idea what will hurt your feelings, how to
make you feel safe enough to have real conversations
about tough subjects”
1st-4th graders
“This is a Girl Scout program. In Girl Scouts, we are honest
and fair, courageous and strong, and responsible for what
we say and do.
In Girl Scouts, we are honest and fair. That means…
In Girl Scouts, we are courageous and strong. That means…
In Girl Scouts, we are responsible for what we say and do. That means…
5th-12th graders
Choose three volunteers who want to write and give each a piece of cardstock
and a marker. Ask one to write courage, one to write confidence, one to write
character. “This is a Girl Scout program. Girl Scouts builds girls of courage,
confidence and character, who make the world a better place. So what’s a
ground rule we want for this group?” When a girl gives a rule, ask her where it
4
belongs, courage, confidence or character. Then the girl with that sheet writes
down the rule.
Tips:
• Be sure ground rules are specific. If a girl says “Be nice,” ask her what that
looks like and record a more specific answer.
• Avoid “swimming pool rules” (don’t run, don’t dive, don’t, don’t, don’t…).
• Ask the girls to turn negative statements around into positive statements of
what they do want.
Bubblicious: When confidentiality comes up, the girls usually want a “what is said in
this room stays in this room” rule. Confidentiality is crucial, but so is getting the girls
to share the information and use it when not in a SAFE space. Introduce the
concept of being “bubblicious.” “When we close the door, we create a bubble.
We become bubblicious. Can we all agree not to do or say anything outside that
will pop the bubble or hurt the relationships we’ve developed in this room. And if
anything does happen outside this room that could pop the bubble, can we agree
to deal with it in this space?”
Girl Scout
Mission Statement Girl Scouting builds girls of courage,
confidence, and character, who make the
world a better place.

Discover
Swap
Optional: 1st-12th grade
Girls will discover how they are each girl feeling
that day through taking an inventory of how they
really do feel. They also will learn to exhibit
empathy to their peers by actively listening to how
others feel.
Materials:
None, other than empathy and a listening ear
Procedure:
Stand or sit in a circle with your left hand held palm up and your right held palm
down. Put your right hand on top of the left hand of the person next to you, and
the person on your left will put their right hand on top of your left.
Explain “I’m going to ask a question and we’ll pass the answers around the circle.
(Tapping their right hand with yours). After I answer, the person on my left will ask
the next questions for the group.
Play until everyone has asked a question or until you run out of time.
Discover
What’s the Weather?
Optional: 1st-12th grade
Objective:
• Discover how each girl is feeling that day
• Model to girls how to adapt to each girl’s individual needs for the moment
Materials:
None
Procedure:
Sit in a circle, preferably on the floor. “We’re going to tell each other how we’re
feeling today based on the weather. Are you sunny, stormy, a tornado? What?”
Ask if they want to go around the circle or popcorn (tossing the object to whoever
wants it next). Ask who wants to go first, and then toss her the talking object. She
chooses who goes next until everyone has gone.
Checking In Although it
takes time, check-ins are
a great way to build
culture. They can be
done at the beginning of
each meeting. The girls
can provide their own
check-in questions, or
you can be creative with
your metaphors (fruit,
shape, animal, ice cream
flavor, etc.) If speed is of
the essence, they can
pick a number from 1-5.

“In” or “Out” of the Box
Optional: 4th – 12th grades
Objective:
Conduct this activity and discussion with your group to explore discrimination and
examine how the pressures to conform to social and cultural definitions of femininity
shape girls’ attitudes and behaviors toward self and others.
Materials:
Flipchart or white board
Markers
Procedure:
• Draw a box on the flipchart. Ask students to consider what a girl/woman
should be like, look like, and act like to be liked by others or to be popular.
Write their responses inside the box.
• Now ask students to consider what a girl/woman would be like, look like, and
act like who wasn’t liked by others. Write tier response outside the box. For
example:
Gay
Loner Pretty Popular
Thin Nice No friends
Nice hair Athletic
Fat Acne
“As girls and women, we are all subject to the pressures to be considered as having
the characteristics that put us “inside the box.” The characteristics outside the box
are used as a way to target girls to regulate their behavior and appearance. Girls
who are considered “outside the box” often face teasing and exclusion from other
girls and boys.”
“Consider this situation involving a girl in the popular group at school:”
“One of the girls in her group teases a girl that is overweight. Even though she may
feel bad that her friend is teasing this girl, she doesn’t say anything.
ASK “WHY?”
In this situation, the girl doesn’t say anything because, if she does, she will be put in
13
the same place as the girl her friends are teasing, “outside of the box.” The threat
of being “outside of the box” keeps her (and most of us) silent. As soon as we
perceive someone as being “other” than us, we don’t relate to him or her. When
this happens, we more likely to be mean to someone or to watch and do nothing
when others are hurting someone. In particular, when girls gossip about a girl being
“gay” sometimes that girl will seek out boys to prove she belongs “in the box.”
Journal:
Ask girls to pick one of the qualities they believe “keep a girl in the box” and
describe how a girl might feel who as this quality; does not possess this quality. How
hard do you think it is to stay in the box?

Stop the Bullying
Optional: 1st-5th grade
Objective:
To help establish an effective climate for learning and serve as a reminder of the
effects of hurtful actions.
Materials:
Paper cut out of the “person” shape or materials for the girls to make their own.
Procedure:
• Provide each girl with a small paper cut-out in the shape of a human or have
them make their own.
• Have them write their names on their cutout.
• Girls form a circle and pass their cutout to the person on the right.
• That girl makes a small crumple or rip in the cutout or make a mark on it with
a pen or marker.
• When the cutouts have made their way around the entire circle, have the
girls try to repair their cutouts by flattening, erasing or taping them.
• After they are “repaired” discuss the activity.
• Talk about the effects of unkind words and hurt feelings
• Give the girl back her cut out to decorate to tailor it as one would have to
do to build her own self-esteem.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
(Optional: 2nd-12th grades)
Objectives
• Discover the girls’ biggest friendship issues
• Identify behavior patterns in a positive relationship
• Begin distinctions between normal conflict and bullying behavior
• Differentiate between tattling and telling
• Differentiate between normal conflict (bad) and bullying (ugly)
Materials:
• 2 Post-It Notes per Girl
• Pens/Pencils
• Signs: “Good”, “Bad”, “Ugly”, and “Bullying vs. Conflict”
• Wall-Safe Tape
Procedure:
• Give each girl 2 post-its and a pen or pencil. On one post-it, write the best
things about being friends with girls. On the other post-it, write the most
challenging thing about being friends with girls.
• While the girls are writing, place “good”, “bad”, and “ugly” signs across a
wall of the room. Ask the girls to put their post-its on the sign where they think
it belongs.
• Ask the girls where you should start – good, bad or ugly. Read a post-it from
the sign they pick and ask the girl who placed it there why she chose that
location. Then take it through the continuum. Example: girls choose to
begin with ugly, and you pull a post it that says “Drama!” After the girl(s) who
put it there explain why it’s ugly, ask “is there a time when drama is just bad
and not ugly?” After they’ve processed that, ask “can drama ever be
good?” If they get stuck, guide, “Is it good that girls are dramatic and
expressive and passionate about life?”
• The goal of this activity is to teach the girls how to think about conflict vs.
bullying, not what to think about individual behaviors.
Teachable Moment: A discussion about secrets should come up naturally in this
activity. If not, bring it up. “Is telling secrets good, bad or ugly? When should you
keep a secret? When should you tell?” Scenario: My dad yells at me a lot and
17
sometimes he hits me. But don’t tell anyone, because it’s personal and I don’t
want to get in trouble.” What do you do?
Tattling vs. Telling
• Tattling is getting someone into trouble.
• Telling is getting someone out of trouble.
• If it’s both–tell an adult and they’ll help you figure out what to do. If the
solution doesn’t help, try again.
Processing:
• GOOD is the way we wish friendship could be all the time.
o However, people are different. In addition, because we’re different,
we have different ideas and want different things, which can lead to
conflict.
• The BAD list is normal conflict. Normal conflict happens, but if you handle it
with honesty and kindness, it’s not hard to get back to good. If you don’t
handle it, things can turn ugly.
• UGLY is bullying behavior. It is physical violence, verbal abuse and name-
calling, taunting, excluding people, gossiping or whispering about them,
getting pleasure out of another’s pain. Bullying is when one person is smiling
because the other person is hurt, one person is laughing because the other
person is crying, and one person is getting pleasure from another person’s
pain. Alternatively, they actually do not care that someone is in pain or that
they have hurt someone.
Tip: Use the “Normal Conflict vs. Bullying” sign as minimally or significantly as you’d
like.

Three Types of Bullying
Required: 1st-12th grades
Objective:
Recognize the three types of bullying and their impact
Materials:
- Sign: 3 Types of Bullying
Procedure:
1st-5th grades (6th-12th grades)
Explain and discuss the 3 types of bullying.
• Physical Bullying
o Doesn’t happen very much (Least common)
o Used most by boys
• Word (Verbal) Bullying
o Most common
o Used equally by boys and girls
o Used to dehumanize a target or make it seem like a person is only one
thing
o Defines a person as only one thing
• Friendship (Relational)Bullying
o Gossip & rumor – talking about things you shouldn’t or telling lies about
someone
o Leaving people out
o Ignoring people
o Used most by girls
“We’re going to talk about what physical, word (verbal), and friendship (relational)
bullying look like in your life. You can pass if you’d like, but the talking object won’t
come back to you if you do. If you’ve seen physical bullying, what has it looked
like?” Pass the talking object around the circle – do not popcorn method of
picking girls to share.
25
“Now we’re going to talk about word (verbal) bullying. These words are really
mean or bad words. Remember, my job as an adult is to protect you from
things that hurt, not the other way around. You can the words if you want, or
say “the z word” or another substitute. What words have you heard used to
bully people?” Pass the talking object around once. If it will be helpful to the
girls, define what the word means.
Make sure you discuss at the end. “Do you think people use these same words
in other schools? Other towns? Other states? People use the same words in
New York City and tiny towns in Colorado because they hurt people. It doesn’t
necessarily have anything to do with the target; it’s just a mean and nasty thing
to say that really hurts someone.”
“Finally we are going to talk about friendship (relational) bullying. If you’ve seen
people gossip, spread rumors, leave people out, or ignore them, what has it
looked like?” Discuss how much this behavior hurts.

Fruit Choices
Required: K-12th
K-3rd Grade
Objective:
Process with the girls “how does it feel to be left out?”
Materials:
• Paper plates (one for each girl)
• Markers, crayons or colored pencils
Procedure:
• Have the girls pick between one of three fruit choices (ie: grapes, apples
and bananas or bananas, oranges and strawberries, etc.)
• Instruct the girls to choose their favorite of the three fruits and draw and
color it on their paper plate.
• When they are all done with their pictures, ask them “Why did you choose
a certain fruit?” (They like the flavor, have allergies, they wanted to do
what their friends took, etc.)
• Next, have the girls move around the room to sit with the rest of the girls
that chose the same fruit ONLY. Ask them “What if you could only site with
people that had the same fruit choice as you and no one else?” “What if
your best friend chose a different fruit?” “Should you still be friends?”
“Does having a different fruit make us different from others?” (yes) “Should
we still treat everyone with kindness?” (yes) ‘Is being different bad?” (no,
obviously)
• Let everyone sit where they want to sit and complement each other on
their pictures.

Fruit Choice Dice Game
Required: K-12th
4th – 12th grade
Objective:
Process with the girls “how does it feel to be left out?”
Materials
For the leader: One giant die with different colors or fruit pictures (included
below) where numbers are. Can also fashion a “Spin the Wheel” as in Twister©
One for each girl:
• Fruit shapes to cut out and color (on the template)
• Template to paste them on
• Markers, crayons, colored pencils
• Glue/glue sticks/scissors
Procedure:
• Have the girls color and cut out the fruit shapes then paste to the
template. (grapes, apples , bananas, oranges and strawberries and blue
berries)
• Instruct the girls to assign a name of a friend in their lives that is important
to them to each fruit on the template (if last resort they can put family
members but it is better if they use friends’ names). Make sure they ONLY
put people they care about and not fair-weather or people they do not
really like.
• When they are all done assigning names roll the giant die and share
results with class. Depending on the color that comes up on that side of
the die tell them to draw a large “X” over that fruit. Roll the die a second
time. (Do one more time if you feel the point will not be made or if it is not
made when you explain at that phase of the activity).
• Now, let them know what each color represents
o Red / Strawberry– this friend is not attractive enough
o Blue / Blueberry– this friend is disabled or challenged in some way
o Green / Apple – this friend is poor or wears clothes that aren’t “in
29
style”
o Purple / Grape– this friend is of a different race
o Yellow / Banana– this friend is seen as a “nerd” or a “geek”
o Orange / Orange– this friend is someone that people call “fat” or
someone that people call “way too skinny”
• Next, ask them:
“What if you could only be friends with or hang out with people that are NOT
marked with an “X” and no one else?” How does that make you feel?
“How would you feel if your best friend in the world was one that WAS marked
off?”
“How would YOU feel if YOU were the one “X’d” off someone’s list for something
like these reasons?
“Should you still be friends anyway if that means being made fun of by others?”
Should you be friends with that “X’d” person even if you are made fun of by the
group of people you hang with because of it???”
“Does having or not having these differences make a person BETTER or NOT AS
GOOD AS others?”
“Should we still treat everyone with kindness?”
Is that called “compassion?”
So what is a REAL friend?
“Is being different bad?”
Isn’t a “fruit basket” with honest choices better than begin forced to have to
make this choices.
***If you feel like it as a presenter and you have the time bring up how this
relates to discrimination and how we have moved from the lunch counters and
“All White” bathrooms of the 60’s but that there is still discrimination every day
around us because of personal differences…and it ALL is hurtful.
Ask girls to process what bully would feel like in any of the positions above. A
Witness or bystander? A target?
Which would they like to have as their friend?

Power Play
Required: K-12th
Objective:
Understand the different roles that we each play in a bullying drama and
recognize we have a choice of what role we play
Materials:
• 2 sets of signs
o 1st-3rd grades - Bully, Bystander, Target, Defender
o 4th-12th grades - Bully, Assistant, Reinforcer, Ignorer, Target,
Defender
• Scenarios:
o 1st-3rd grades 4 roles
o 4th-12th grades 6 roles
o - Pie chart showing 85%
Procedure:
1st-3rd grade
• Explain the four roles of bullying, holding up signs.
o Bully – Gets pleasure from other people’s pain
o Bystander – Tries not to be involved
o Target – Person who gets bullied
o Defender – Helps stop the bullying
4th-12th grades
• Explain the four roles of bullying, holding up signs.
o Bully – Gets pleasure from other people’s pain
o Assistant –Joins in the bullying
o Reinforcer – Gives positive feedback to the bully
o Ignorer – Tries to be an outsider & pretend the bullying isn’t
happening
33
o Target – Person who gets bullied
o Defender – Gets involved to help stop the bullying
• Ask for 4 or 6 volunteers. Each girl picks a sign. Tell the girls you’re going
to read scenarios aloud and each girl should figure out whether her
character is playing the bully, the target, the defender, etc. Ask the girls
to try to figure out who is the bully, the target, the defender and the
ignorer. Begin with easy, straightforward scenarios where all the roles are
present, then progress to more complicated scenarios with grey areas.
• Alternate: Split the girls into groups of 4 or 6. Let each girl pick a
nametag. Let them read the scenario and plan a skit to act out for the
group.
• Discuss how their character behaved in the scenario and why
o Ask round 1: Why do you think your character was the… (target,
defender, bully, etc.)
o Ask round 2: How does your character feel?
o Ask round 3: Who has the power in this scenario?
• If there’s time, split girls into groups and let them make up and practice
their own scenario to act out for the group.
• “Who really has the power in a bullying drama? Facts – 6% of students
bully, 9% are targeted, and 85% are bystanders. What would happen if
85% of us stood up when we saw bullying and said no?”

1st-3rd grade
Angela won’t stop making fun of Janelle because she wears clothes that aren’t
“cool.” Angela’s friend Kim hears her but pretends to not notice. Serena sees
that Janelle is really sad. When Angela walks by Janelle and says, “Did you get
those clothes from a garage sale?” Serena says, “That’s mean. Janelle, I think
your shirt is pretty.”
1st-3rd grade
The girls on the soccer team are planning a sleepover, but Janelle doesn’t want
to invite Serena because she’s new to the team and too quiet. In school, Janelle
tells Serena, “Too bad you weren’t invited to our sleepover.” Angela acts as if
she does not hear her. Kim tells Janelle, “If you don’t invite Serena, I’m not
coming either. We’re supposed to be a team.”
1st-3rd grade
Kim has invited all of her friends to a skating party. Angela doesn’t know how to
skate. Kim points at Angela and says, “Look at her!” Serena giggles. Then
Janelle says to Kim, “Not everyone knows how to skate yet.” Janelle takes
Angela by the hand and they sit down for a snack.
1st-3rd grade
Angela, Janelle and Serena always get to the swings first during recess. One
day, Serena won’t let a new girl, Kim, get on the swings. Serena says, “You’re
not part of Serena’s super swing club.” Janelle just keeps swinging. Kim tries to
get on the swings but Serena holds the swing out of her reach. Kim gets tears in
her eyes. Angela says, “That’s silly, Serena. The swings are for everybody.”
Angela gives Kim her swing.
4th-12th grades
Maria is everyone’s favorite target. She’s the smallest kid in class, wears glasses
and is good at reading and math. All of the teachers love her, but the kids think
she’s kind of a dork. She’s walking in the hallway when Serena trips her and she
falls down and drops her stuff everywhere. Kim kicks her book across the hall.
Angela laughs. Janelle rolls her eyes and walks away. Ruby picks up Maria’s
books for her and walks her to her next class.
4th-12th grades

A new girl, Angela, walks up to a lunch table and asks if she can sit in an empty
chair. Ruby doesn't look at or answer her. Ruby crosses her legs across the chair,
smirks at her friends and says, “Don’t you think girls who wear ponytails look like
babies?” Janelle nods, “No one wears pig tails anymore!” Maria giggles, but Kim
just looks out the window. Later that day, Serena finds Angela in the bathroom
crying. Serena tries to comfort Angela by saying, “That was mean thing that
Ruby did to you, would you like me to walk home with you?”
4th-12th grades Every time she sees Maria, Angela makes fun of her because
she wears clothes that aren’t “cool.” Angela’s best friend, Kim, joins in whenever
she’s there. Serena pretends to not notice, but Janelle can’t stop giggling. Ruby
sees that Maria is really upset. When Angela walks by Maria and says, “Did you
get those clothes from a garage sale?” Ruby says, “That’s not cool. Maria, I think
your shirt is awesome.”
4th-12th grades
A group of friends is having a sleepover and start gossiping about the girls at
school. Everyone agrees that Ruby is really stuck-up and flaunts her family’s
money all the time. Kim says, “Yeah, Ruby may have money now, but she’s still
just white trash.” Everyone seems shocked at first, but then Serena bursts out
laughing, and Janelle says, “Yeah, they moved into that house out of a trailer!”
Angela looks uncomfortable but quiet. Maria looks at Kim and Janelle and says,
“That’s an awful thing to say!” Kim says, “My dad says that all the time.” Angela
says, “Ruby may not be the nicest girl in school, but that has nothing to do with
where she lives or how much money she has.” Maria says, “I’d rather be friends
with her than you if you’re going to say horrible things like that!”
4th-12th grades
The girls on the softball team are planning a sleepover, but Maria keeps telling
them that they shouldn’t invite Ruby because she’s new to the team and too
quiet. In school, Maria tells Ruby, “Too bad you weren’t invited to our
sleepover.” Angela says, “Yeah, you’ll be missing out on all that pizza.” Kim puts
on a show pretending to be sad. Janelle acts as if she doesn’t hear the
conversation. Serena says to Maria and Angela, “If you aren’t inviting Ruby, I’m
not coming either.” Janelle says, “Yeah, that’s mean. We’re supposed to be a
team.” Maria says, “Okay, fine. She can come.” Serena and Janelle walk over
to Ruby and Janelle says, “I really would like for you to come to the sleepover.”
4th-12th grades
Serena is picking soccer teams in gym class. She picks her best friend Ruby. Ruby
whispers to Serena, then loudly says, “I bet nobody picks Janelle.” Serena picks
46
Angela. Angela pretends as if she doesn’t notice they are picking on Janelle
and walks straight past her. Ruby whispers to Serena, “Don’t pick Janelle again.”
Serena picks Maria. Maria smiles as she walks past Serena. Kim sees everyone
excluding Janelle. When she is picked, she says, “Ruby, it’s not okay to pick
teams like that. I’d rather be on the other team with Janelle.”
4th-12th grades
Serena has been friends with a group of girls since Kindergarten. This year, she
notices her best friend, Ruby, has stopped passing notes to her. At lunch, Serena
asks Ruby, “Why don’t you pass me notes anymore?” Ruby says, “I just have new
friends now.” Maria says, “Serena, you’re just not cool. You’ll never get it.”
Angela laughs uncomfortably. Kim keeps eating. Janelle looks at Ruby and says,
“Ruby, that’s not okay. Come on, Serena. When you guys decide to be friends
again, you know where to find us.” Janelle and Ruby get up and go sit with
another group of girls.
4th-12th grades
Janelle, Ruby, Maria, and Angela always get to the swings first during recess.
One day, Janelle won’t let a new girl, Kim, get on the swings. She says, “You’re
not part of the super swing club.” Serena says, “Yeah, so there.” Ruby starts
giggling. Maria just keeps swinging. Kim tries to get on the swings but Janelle
holds the swing out of her reach. Kim gets tears in her eyes. Angela says, “That’s
silly, Janelle. The swings are for everybody.” Angela gives Kim her swing.
4th-8th grades
Kim has invited all of her friends to a skating party. One girl, Janelle, doesn’t
know how to skate very well. Kim points at Janelle and says, “Look at her!”
Angela says, “Yea, check out the baby.” Serena giggles at Janelle. Ruby just
keeps skating. Then Maria says to Kim, “Not everyone knows how to skate yet.”
Maria takes Janelle by the hand and they sit down for a snack.
4th-12th grades
Serena is not popular. She lives in a very poor neighborhood, her family doesn’t
have a washer or dryer and her clothes are often dirty. Angela’s parents have a
big house, horses and a silver Hummer. At lunch, Angela sits at a table behind
Serena and loudly exclaims, “Something smells bad in here? Do you smell that?
It smells like Serena in here!” Maria screams “Ick!” and Kim nods, holding her
nose and giggling. Ruby seems really busy eating. Janelle, the gym teacher
walks up and asks, “What’s all the laughing about?” Angela smiles sweetly and
47
says, “It just smells so bad in here. Can’t you smell it?” Janelle sniffs, tilts her
head, and says, “Yeah, it does smell pretty bad.” The whole table bursts out
laughing. Later that day, Kim calls Serena to apologize for how she and the
others behaved and asks Serena if she would like to come to her house
tomorrow after school.
4th-12th grades
Kim is picked on a lot at school. In the hall, a group of girls starts to taunt her.
Serena calls out, “Hit her!” Ruby slaps Kim across the face. Both girls look
surprised, but Serena quickly smiles. A larger group is now surrounding the two
girls and Janelle starts chanting “Fight, fight, fight.” Maria pretends there is
nothing going on and keeps rummaging in her locker. Angela quickly runs to tell
a teacher what is happening.
4th-12th grades
Maria is absent from dance class today. The girls start to talk about why she’s
missing. Kim goes to school with her, but didn’t notice whether or not she was
there. Kim says, “Well, she’s one of those people. Her parents are probably too
busy drinking Tequila to bring her.” Serena says “Yeah. I heard her dad won’t let
her leave the house because she’s a girl.” Janelle, the dance teacher, looks
annoyed, but keeps leading stretches. Angela walks away from the girls and
goes to do her stretches with some other girls in the class. Ruby says, “That’s not
cool. We shouldn’t be telling stories about her just because she’s not here.”
6th-12th grades
Maria, Kim, Serena, Janelle and Angela have been friends since pre-school. Angela
went to a party with her cousin on Saturday that none of her friends were invited to.
Although she promised to tell her friends all about it Sunday, she never called any of
them (they never called her, either). Angela misses school on Monday. At lunch, Maria
says, “Wow! That must have been some party on Saturday if Angela still can’t get out of
bed.” Janelle says, “No kidding. I know they were drinking. Her cousin’s a lush!” Maria
asks Serena and Kim, “Do you think she got caught?” Serena and Kim don’t answer, so
Janelle says, “Totally! Her mom’s really strict. I’ll bet she’s in rehab!” Within two hours,
the school is buzzing with the rumor that Angela’s missing school today because she’s in
rehab. That night, Serena’s mom, Ruby, has heard about Angela’s “situation” and tells
Serena, “I don’t want you spending time with Angela anymore. She’s a bad influence.”
Tuesday, Angela comes to school after spending the day sick with food poisoning only
to be asked, “How was rehab?” four times on the way to her locker in the morning. Kim
joins Angela at her locker and says, “There are some nasty rumors going on about you.
What happened this weekend?” Once Angela tells her the real story, Kim tells
everyone she hears spreading the rumor what the truth really is and sits with Angela at
lunch when no one else will.

• Markers
• Signs:
o “Why Bullies Bully,”
o “Common Thinking Errors,”
o “Who gets Targeted?”
o “Witnesses don’t act because they’re…”
Procedure:
• Split girls into 3 groups. Give each group a poster board and markers.
They need to choose which group is doing the bully, the target and the
bystander.
• Draw a picture of your person. Give each group their sign. On one side,
write some traits that role has. One the other side, write things they could
do to make a bullying situation better.
• When they’re done, have them present their posters to the other groups.
50
Why Bullies Bully • Value the rewards that
aggression can bring.
• Lack empathy and compassion.
• Lack guilt and shame and blame the victim.
• Often have social status and power.
• Like to be in charge and to dominate.
• Parents (or other role models) often model aggression.
• Think in unrealistic ways.
51
Common Thinking Errors
• Everything should always go my way.
• I don’t care if I hurt other people.
• I shouldn’t have to follow rules or do boring things
• Lying can keep you out of trouble.
• I never make mistakes and things are never my fault
52
Witnesses don’t act
because they are…
• Afraid of getting hurt.
• Afraid of becoming a new target of the bully.
• Afraid of doing something that will make the situation worse.
53
Who gets
targeted? Why?
• They are different.
• They are alone.
• They may have been targeted in the past.

How to Help Required: K-12th
Objective:
Understand the keys to successful intervention
Materials: • Sign:
o “Keys to Helping”
o “Safe 2 Tell Hotline”
Procedure:
• Discuss these rules for helping. What does each one mean and why
should we do that? Discuss what it means to be respected and safe.
o Doing nothing? Not an option. (You’re always playing a role. If you
do nothing, you’re ignoring, which the bully and the target think
means you’re on the bully’s side) o You stay safe. o The target keeps her dignity. o Don’t bully back – the bully deserves dignity, too!

Defender Drills
Optional: 2nd-12th grades
Objectives:
Establish a script to use when confronted with bullying behaviors and vocalize a
defense in your own words
Materials:
• Insult Cards
• Signs:
o 1 Bully sign
o 1 Target sign
o 1 Defender sign
Procedure:
• Review the Keys to Helping
o Do nothing? Not an option!
o You have to be safe.
o You have to protect the target.
o The bully gets to keep their dignity.
• Now that you know the basics, it is time to put it into practice.
• Count off by 3’s. When you say “GO” they will line up in three straight
lines. The one’s will begin as the targets, the two’s will begin as the bullies,
and the three’s will begin as the defenders. The people at the front of the
lines will face off in the center.
• “I’m going to stand by the target, holding up the cue cards. The bully will
read the card, directing the insult at the target. The defender will step in
to help the target.”
o It is the job of the entire group to speak up when someone uses a
poor or inappropriate defense
o Also, if the girls are having difficulty, the facilitator could read the
signs as the bully
58
Guidelines:
• Remember: Bullies don’t attack the target because of the target. They
get pleasure from the target’s pain. They don’t necessarily believe the
target is actually a lesbian, or sexually active, or even ugly. They have a
“bully script” of mean and cruel remarks that they use for any target that
crosses their path. That’s what the bully line shows.
• The target line shows that anyone can be target. Anytime. Anywhere.
The only way to stop it is for someone to stand up and say THAT’S NOT
OKAY!
• The defender line shows how easy it is to stand up. With a few words, you
can deflate a situation before it blows up into a major bullying drama.
Use your own defense scripts, and then get the target out of the bully’s
aim.
• Before we do this activity, we need to make sure that everyone feels safe.
Know that you’re not really being targeted, you’re playing a role. Even if
what is said is something you think someone might really say to you (or has
said in the past), the cards are random. The bully is playing the role too.
• While you’re waiting, listen closely to the defenses. Give the defenders
feedback when you hear a strong defense or when you hear something
that doesn’t fit the keys to helping.
• When the three girls in the front of the line are finished, the girl in the front
of the targets line will move to the back of the bully line, the girl at the
front of the bully line will move to the back of the defender line, and the
girl at the front of the defender line will move to the back of the target
line. (So eventually every girl will get to explore every role).
Tips for Defending:
• Keep it to 10 words or less – the more you talk, the less impact you make.
• Avoid questions – questions give the power back to the bully and give
them a chance to re-target. (Example: “Why are you being so mean to
her?” Because she’s….”)

First Impressions
Optional: 4th-12th grades
Objective:
Find out how first impressions either taint or guide our feelings and actions that can
then lead to bullying
Materials:
• photos of typical (or not typical teens and pre-teens)
• faux biographies of the girls
• tape
Procedure:
• Fold biographic statements under photo and lightly tape to the back of the
photo (so that the words are face down)
• Tape the photos to the wall several feet apart.
• Seat girls around the photos without explaining the activity…just that you are
going to talk about friends and a general discussion of friends and girl-friend
relationships.
• Ask the girls to silently go stand under the photo of the one that they would
like to have as their friend. If there are more photos than girls, take some
down to equal the girls in your group. If there are more girls than photos, ask
for volunteers to equal to the number of photos to participate.
• If biographic descriptions do not seem pertinent to the group in which you
work, write your own.
• Process how you can’t judge a book by a cover
• Be sure to include photos of girls that will make for discussion regarding the
concept of first impressions and that it is important to make non-judgmental
decisions.
o Processes how not doing so makes a lot of people lose out.
o Be sure to include picture of someone that is overweight, someone that
looks the opposite of the person you think your girls would hang out
with, etc.
93
She is angry at you for getting
a better grade on the test
than she did but she never
told you. Instead she just acts
as if she likes you but talks
about you behind your back.
She secretly talks
about the guy you
like behind your back
and tells others you
are dumb for going
out with such a
“loser” (but then she
flirts with him on the
side!!)
94
She thinks you look dumb
in that new outfit you
bought and won’t hang
out with you if you keep
wearing it and generally
dressing like that. She is
always a fashionista and
feels like you just are a
loser for not dressing like
she and her friends.
Because she has always
been made fun of for
being overweight, she
knows what someone
would look for in a friend.
She wants to be your friend
and would be loyal until
the end. (Provided she
doesn’t find you making
fun of her behind her
back!)
95
She really hopes you aren’t
going to join band because
she doesn’t want to go on
band trips with you. You are
just fine in class, but feels that
you are just needy and gets
irritated with you. If you go
on the band trips also, she’ll
go crazy!!!
She has serious bouts of
sadness and depression but
when she is not feeling bad,
she is a riot!!! She just wishes
someone would show her
some compassion rather than
calling her a freak and not
giving her a chance. Of
course she gets snippy! No
one will get out of her
business. Sometimes she just
would like to have a friend.
96
She is always
so fun to be
with but the
other people
you hang out
with can’t
stop making
fun of her
behind her
back. You try
not to join into
it but when
you don’t
they seem to
start on you.
Although she looks
nice enough, she is
used to be a severe
pill addict and
actually were
hospitalized for the
3rd time this year.
Since she came
back to school she is
really doing a lot
better and seems to
have gotten her life
back on track.
97
She is cool and
a lot of fun but
you are white
and go to an all
white school.
Being with her
even a little will
make your
friends you’ve
had since
elementary
school shun you.
She is deaf and
dates someone
outside her race.
Others make fun
of her and she is
a little weird but
you like her. But
hanging out with
her is a
reputation killer.
98
She is the new kid in
school and acts
pretty weird. But she
seems to be just the
type of person that
you think would
make a good friend.
The few talks you’ve
had at your locker
make you want to
be her friend.

“I am special…EVERYONE is special”
Mobile and Bracelet
Required: Mobile (K-2nd) and Bracelet (3rd-12th)
I.A.S.E.I.S. MOBILE
I AM SPECIAL - EVERYONE IS SPECIAL
K-2nd
We often are told that we are special or that we need to feel good about ourselves.
However, we need to remember that EVERYONE is special in his or her own way?
We cannot be mean to others just to make ourselves feel better. In doing this, we
are just hurting ourselves. You cannot push someone over to get to the top…it just
does not work that way. So, YES, you ARE special…but so is everyone! Imagine if
we had a world where EVERYONE felt special about themselves. Sounds like a
pretty great place!
Make a mobile as a reminder that “I AM SPECIAL - EVERYONE IS SPECIAL” right along
with you! Treat others as you want to be treated!!! It might just come back to you!
Materials:
Letter pieces:
• “I” = 2
• “S” = 2
• “E” = 1
• “A” = 1
• Mobile body/base
• Chenille stems (short and medium length-to attach letters to body)
• Chenille stems (long-for hanging)
• Paper punch
• Crayons, colored pencils
Procedure:
• Begin with the girls coloring the mobile body and the letter pieces.
100
• Next, make sure there are holes punched in tops of all the letter pieces and
the bottom of the mobile body (6 evenly spaced)
• After girls have finished coloring instruct to put chenille stems (medium and
short in a varied pattern) through the holes in the letter pieces and the mobile
base.
• Twist stems closed on back of mobile.
• Adjust so pieces hang correctly
• Place the long chenille stem at the top for a hanger
• Reinforce with the girls that every time they see their mobile they need to
remember that YES they are SPECIAL but that they also need to realize to
treat EVERYONE as special, too!!!
I.A.S.E.I.S. BRACELET
I AM SPECIAL - EVERYONE IS SPECIAL
3rd-12th
We often are told that we are special or that we need to feel good about ourselves.
But we need to remember that EVERYONE is special in his or her own way? We
cannot be cruel to others just to make ourselves feel better. In doing this, we are just
hurting ourselves. You cannot push someone over to get to the top…it just does not
work that way. So, YES, you ARE special…but so is everyone! Imagine if we had a
world where EVERYONE felt special about themselves. Sounds like a pretty great
place!
Make a bracelet as a reminder that “I AM SPECIAL - EVERYONE IS SPECIAL” right
along with you! Treat others as you want to be treated!!! It might just come back to
you!
Materials:
Letter beads:
• “I” beads = 2
• “S” beads = 2
• “E” bead = 1
• “A” bead = 1
• Memory wire bracelet (with one end curved already) – WARN ABOUT SHARP
EDGES AND HOW IT EASILY SPRINGS BACK TO POKE A PERSON! SAFETY WISE!!!
• Small jewelry pliers to curve the other end when the girls are finished beading
the wire.
101
• Small pony beads or other fitting bead to fill in the rest of the bracelet.
• Cup for their beads (optional)
• Procedure:
• Begin with the girls filling their wire with just short of 1/3 of the small pony
beads.
• Next, place an “I” bead, then a pony bead. Next place an “S” then a pony
bead. Continue with the rest of the letters, spacing with a pony bead in
between the letters.
• Finish with the small pony beads
• When there is approximately ½ inch of wire left showing, curve the wire with
the pliers (or if they want to try, let them, showing them how.)
• Be sure there are no sharp edges remaining (SAFETY WISE)
• Be sure that they put the beads with a directional specific upside down when
“stringing” them on the wire or they will be upside down when fed up to the
top of the wire.
• Reinforce with the girls that every time they see their bracelet they need to
remember that YES they are SPECIAL but that they also need to realize to
treat EVERYONE as special, too!!!
• *Take it farther: (optional): after the girls have completed their project, have
them turn and give their project to the person on their left. Process if anyone
causes any inappropriate behavior regarding this and how that negativity is
also a way to cut someone down. Being selfless and learning compassion
and care is a way to be a good friend. Turning someone’s nose up at their
neighbor is not.
106
Take Action
Wish for the World
Optional: 4th-12th grades
Objective:
Reinforce strength in numbers
Materials:
• 1 Popsicle per person + 1
• Large rubber band or tape
• Markers
Prior Preparation:
• Well before the activity starts, ask for two volunteers or pick the right two
people to play the bully and target. Take them aside where no one can hear
you. Explain that they need to choose who will be the bully & who will be the
target. When we share our wishes for the world, the target will go last. As the
target is speaking, the bully should come up to her, break her stick and keep
bullying her until the group intervenes enough to really make the bully stop.
Explain that the goal is to be as tough as bully as possible so the group has the
opportunity to really defend the target. The target can try to defend herself,
but she should rely mostly on the group to defend her – they should know how
by now!
Procedure:
• Give each person a Popsicle stick. Ask them to write three wishes they have
for the world on their stick. (Let them feel ownership of their stick)
• Ask for someone to volunteer to be the bully and someone else to volunteer
to be the target. Outside of others’ hearing, tell the bully to take the target’s
stick and break it. Then the bully and the target should keep acting out their
roles until enough people from the audience intervene to really stop the
bullying and help the target feel safe.
• Get the audience’s attention, then say “Action,” and get out of the way.
Wait in silence. This is the hardest part but give them time. As the authority
figure, they will look to you for permission to do something. Look away and let
them take action on their own. As girls come up to defend, give them a
Defender sign. They may join the target, stand between her and the bully,
107
give her their Popsicle stick, etc. If they need strong guidance, make some
leading comments: “That was really mean. I wish I’d had TAKE ACTION
training and knew what to do”
• Once the bullying stops, process:
o Defenders: What did you do? Why did you choose to act?
o Target: How did it feel to be targeted in front of all these people?
What did people do that hurt? What did people do that helped?
o Bully: How did it feel when people were reinforcing or ignoring your
behavior. How did it change when people started to defend?
o People still sitting: What did you do? Why? They may say “we didn’t
know that we could do something? You didn’t tell us we were
supposed to.” Talk about the role adults or authority figures play in
bullying dramas. You saw a fellow [student, Girl Scout] getting hurt.
When that happens in the hall at school, no one’s going to tell you that
you should help or what you to do.
o If you didn’t act, if you reinforced or ignored, don’t beat yourself up – learn from it. What will you do next time? What will you do when it’s for
real?
• Now have all of the girls line up at the front of the room, in a hallway, or
outside. One the count of three, have them all throw their stick as far as they
can across the room. Mark where the farthest goes.
• Have them retrieve their sticks and hand them to you. Rubber band or tape
them all together as one.
• Now have someone throw the bundle of sticks across the room. “When we all
come together, look how far we can go.”
• Now have the bully from the prior activity try to break the sticks as a bundle.
“When we all come together, none of us can be broken.”
108
TAKE ACTION
Service Leading
Objectives:
Solidify the perception of girls as partners in bullying prevention – the solution, not
the problem. Participants will present what they have learned to people of
influence and make recommendations for change.
Materials:
• Posters & other props the girls have created or want to use for presentation
Procedure:
• After the girls have identified people of influence and invited them to the
presentation. Ask the girls what they think is important to share with others.
Make a list of their ideas. Split into groups of girls who want to help with
specific topics.
• Give them time to prepare and practice.
• Adult plays master of ceremonies for presentation.
Tip: It will take at least 30 minutes to prepare the presentation. If it’s a separate
day, plan 10-15 minutes to practice before your audience arrives.
