When is National Bullying Prevention Month 2027?

National Bullying Prevention Month is the whole month of October, October 1 to 31, 2027. PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center started it in 2006 as a week, and it grew into a month in 2010.

How do you explain bullying to young children?

Bullying is unkind behavior that happens on purpose and again and again. The Rude, Mean or Bullying? poster helps children tell the three apart, and My Helping Hand has them name five trusted adults they can tell.

What is an upstander?

An upstander is someone who sees unkind behavior and does something safe to help, such as standing with the child, saying stop or telling an adult. The Be an Upstander poster and the Upstander or Bystander? sort practice it with 3rd to 5th grade.

What bullying prevention activities work for kindergarten to 2nd grade?

The What Would You Do? kindness scenario cards, Kind Words or Unkind Words? cut and sort, How Would You Feel? picture cards, the Kindness Bucket craft, Kindness I Spy and the coloring pages. Each page lists its grade range.
