Target Audience: Fourth-and fifthgrade students.  \nBlosnich J, Kershner R. Teaching violence prevention: How much does bullying weigh? Am J Health Educ. 2009;40(6):341-345.  \nInTroDuCTIon  \nbullying is a well-documented problem for many students in all grade levels, which typically negatively impacts their personal health and safety, particularly in the school environment.1-3 Specifically, among both victims and perpetrators, bullying has been associated with indicators of poor psychosocial adjustment, such as depressive symptoms, truancy and risky behaviors. 1,4 From a prevention perspective, intervention programs and lessons about respectful behavior should begin with young students. Concepts, such as empathy and consequences of one’s actions; however, may be difficult for teachers to convey to students in elementary grade levels because they maybeat varying developmental stages of concrete operations or moral realism.5 based on the teaching strategy of using demonstrations,6 and to appeal to students’ different learning styles, this activity provides a basis from which students can begin to bridge concrete actions (e.g., physical or verbal bullying) and  \nabstract constructs (e.g., empathy, social consequences) . Additionally, strategies for handling bullying situations are included in this activity.  \noBJECTIvES  \nAtthe completion of this lesson, students will be able to:  \n• List bullying behaviors.  \n• List strategies to deal with bullies.  \n• Demonstrate strategies to deal with bullies.  \nTargET populaTIon  \nThis lesson is designed for students in grades four and five and may be used to complement a lesson on respect and healthy relationships.  \nmaTErIalS anD rESourCES  \n• Pre-written bullying narrative about the life of a student who is bullied (See “Jimmy’s Story”in Figure 1. Alternatively, this narrative may be rewritten with a female protagonist.)  \n• 10-12 marbles (The numbers of marbles used in this activity have been tested for completion of bullying narrative; however, the exact number of needed marbles may vary.)  \n• Thin paper napkin (approximately 12 in. x 12 in.)  \n• Cup of water  \n• Tray or towel  \n• Marker  \n• Role play examples (Figure 2)  \n• Worksheets (Figure 3)  \n• Writing utensils for group activities  \n• Chalk and chalkboard  \nJohn Blosnich is a student of Public Health Sciences in the Department of Community Medicine, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV 26501; E-mail: jblosnich@hsc.wvu. edu.

Bullying narrative: Jimmy’s Story |\n| --- |\n| Jimmy was scared about starting fourth grade [in a new U.S. school. His](in a new U.S. school. His) family had moved to the area over the summer, and, eventhough he made friends in his neighborhood, he was worried about being accepted at school. Jimmy’s family was from Japan, but he had never had any problems about “looking different” because, in his [previous U.S. school](previous U.S. school), there were many students who came from many different countries around the world and, therefore, not all students looked traditionally “American.” Jimmy was not sure; however, if there were any Asian students at his new school.\u003Cbr>On the first day, when the teacher came to his name as she was taking roll—James Yamamoto—he heard a few students in the class laugh.
