Be an Upstander Action Poster

Teach the four steps in order and act out a few safe ways to speak up. Hang the poster in the classroom or hallway as a reminder during National Bullying Prevention Month.

One page titled Be an Upstander for when you see someone being treated unkindly. Four numbered steps each have a short line: Notice it, Speak up if it feels safe, Help the person and Tell an adult, with the reminder that telling is not tattling.

7 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 National Bullying Prevention Month resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our National Bullying Prevention Month activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
