Welcome students and introduce the topic of rumors. Explain that a rumor is a story or piece of information that may not be true. Use simple language and examples that are relatable. Encourage students to think about times they may have heard something that wasn't fully true.

Discuss with the class about how they feel when they hear a rumor. Use open-ended questions to encourage sharing and make students feel comfortable. Ask questions like 'How do you feel when you hear a rumor?' and 'What can you do if someone is making fun of you?'.

Explain and discuss strategies for handling rumors. Make sure to highlight specific strategies like speaking to a trusted adult, staying calm, and not spreading the rumor further.

Describe the activity: a role-play scenario. Explain that students will act out situations where someone is dealing with a rumor, and practice using the strategies discussed. Ensure to monitor and guide the groups as needed.

Wrap up the lesson by summarizing the key strategies. Check if students want to add something or ask any remaining questions. This slide should reflect a sense of community and support.
