Bullying Activity for Any Classroom

This simple, low resource, high impact activity is geared towards the bully, the crew, and those mostly unaffected by bullying behaviors. It can take 5 - 10 minutes but is very effective at getting kids to see the effect bullying has on a person.
It is not mine, you can google “The Crumpled Piece of Paper” or hit this link www.google.com...

Great activity. I remember being bullied as a child and how terrorized I used to feel. I did not realize what an effect it had on me till I started teaching this subject. I agree with you that the emotional wound never goes away. It something that affects someone deeply.

[@elisabethshabouk5903]

Thanks, and yes; it shapes the way we think and build relationships.

[@sheyhes8615]

[@elisabethshabouk5903]

I agree, any level. Good luck with your presentation.

[@carolynrigg825]

I've used this many times before (without seeing this video) and it works very well. 👍 Thanks for sharing this out here 😀

[@fherrick1]

As someone bullied in school I got really depressed after seeing this video. I will forever be as ugly as a crumpled-up sheet of paper. Nothing more. For the rest of my life. There is no hope that anything will ever get better. :,(

[@sanch25]

Used this in a teacher training workshop and they loved it!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@rebeccarichards2859]

This is a great project for special ed classes too.

[@gellerbingsgaming]

Sadly i completed this activity with an aggressive 10 year old, his response was "dont care, its funny". I guess some kids just couldn't care less about their actions 😢. Its a great idea, and does work with a lot of kids.

[@elisabethshabouk5903]

There must be something else going on perhaps in his home life.

[@AquaDuckzillions]

I remember doing this in school when I was young and I still think about it to this day.

[@mslindley3916]

This is amazing, so handy, as i am leading Resilience sessions with my year 9 SEN students. Thank you :)

[@cristinamatteoni7999]

[@emmavanrooi5683]

[@elisabethshabouk5903]

Glad it can help

[@StMikaila]

Having Cyber bullying in sudden when i try to defend my korean friends and then meet a toxic guy faking as a good man, losing job after that, and now the world seems want to mock me . thats me as a paper. 🤷‍♀️

[@ericksedasmaldonado5085]

Really great idea... I´ll take it. Eventually I will modified it a bit for my 2nd Graders. Thank you

[@gio_vescovi]

Hi! I was just wondering. This sounds really helpful for the bullies, but for the kids that are being bullied, could it be more painful to hear that "the scars will never go away"? I wonder if it could make them feel like they can never recover from it or something like that.. did you notice anything around that with the kids that were being bullied?

[@elisabethshabouk5903]

The reality is they never really do go away. We can heal with time, of course. However I’ve not found this to be an issue.

[@glorynnaji5690]

Well I guess you can modify that part by telling them not to bully at all & remind them how a bullied child feels using the rough paper

[@terripurcell9536]

This is a great activity. I would modify it slightly by saying that bullying can leave scars on the inside and outside. I wouldn't say that it doesn't go away because young children need to be hopeful about the future. I wouldn't want them to feel like damaged goods ever, but certainly not at a young age.

[@sitiiranabintialimoe2448]

tq for sharing good idea

[@alegnarolyart5133]

I'm doing this with my Instructional Focus class tomorrow! Thanks!

[@elisabethshabouk5903]

Hope it gets the message to the students.!

[@chefchell1452]

Excellent analogy

[@vero__d5719]

What is an activity similar to this for a second grade level class?

[@elisabethshabouk5698]

I think this can work for 2nd grade

[@teboJoh]

Great activity 👏 👍 👌

[@dinaparker4560]

I really love this activity, awesome video.

[@pun2paam]

This is very helpful! Thank you!

[@ccgptk]

Awesome video, thanks! Can it be just a plain paper with nothing written on it?

[@elisabethshabouk5698]

CCG- PTK Sure. I’ve done it that way.

[@ccgptk]

@@elisabethshabouk5698 Thanks, did a session on bullying for around 500 students today, in batches of course and it was great. Thanks.

[@mallecarla3390]

So helpful thank you, QQ do they write, ‘Bullying’ on the piece of paper at all. Sorry if I missed that part

[@elisabethshabouk5903]

Malle Carla No, that was just me for the title frame of the video.

[@mallecarla3390]
