Getting adult help for repeated bullying
Grades 3–5 · Ready-made original
Learning goal
Tell a school adult what keeps happening and ask for a safety step.
A school situation
Each lunch, two students block Maya’s seat and call Maya a hurtful name. Maya has asked them to stop.
Words the student could use
“This keeps happening at lunch. They block my seat and call me a name. Can you help me have a safe place to sit?”
Another situation
A friend sees the same students taking Sam’s supplies again.
What could the student ask or do?
One possible response
“I saw them take Sam’s supplies again. Can you come help?” The friend tells the classroom adult without joining in.
My school support card
I can point to or choose one: □ Show me the first step. □ Help me check the information. □ I need a private conversation. □ I need a pause with an adult.
My request: ________________________________________________
A school adult I can ask: ________________________________
If that adult is away: another available teacher, counselor, or office adult.
Words a school adult could use “Thank you for telling me. You do not have to face them or solve this yourself. We will use the school’s safety and reporting steps. Let’s choose a safe place and an available adult for today.”
If someone is threatening or hurting a student now, go to an available school adult right away. This is not a peer mediation activity.
