Welcome students and introduce the lesson: explain that today we’ll learn what bullying is, why it matters, and how we can stand up for ourselves and others.

Read each objective aloud. Emphasize that these are the goals for today’s lesson.

Ask: “What words or ideas come to mind when you hear ‘bullying’?” Chart responses if time allows. Then display the formal definition.

Provide concrete examples for each type. Invite volunteers to give an example from school or media.

Explain group setup and distribute the Bullying Scenario Cards. Use guiding questions: “How does this feel for the target? What could happen next?”

Model one scenario analysis before students begin their group work. Show them how to fill in the chart.

Introduce the Empathy Mapping Worksheet. Explain each quadrant with an example (e.g., “They might feel sad or scared.”).

Circulate and prompt groups: “Which of these strategies would be safest? Why?” Encourage at least one creative idea per group.

Invite advanced groups to role-play their intervention. Remind others to listen and give supportive feedback.

Collect empathy maps and strategy handouts. Praise students for thoughtful commitments and remind them you’re available if they need support.
