Stop! That's Bullying!

lights
Patty and Jenny Pic

So, What's it All About?  Patty and her friends are having a fun party at her house but one of her guests is unhappy and hiding from a bully in the laundry room. The audience, through participation in songs, and discussions with the characters learn valuable lessons about bullying and what to do about it, such as:

  • What it feels like to be bullied/picked on;
  • What are some things you can do if you are being bullied to protect yourself;
  • What to do if you are a bystander and witness someone being bullied
  • why bystanders are so important (all kids get to participate as active bystanders in the play); and
  • Why it's important not to fight with a bully.

Also, children are encouraged to continue discussing the topic to help them understand just what bullying is (in all of it's forms) and come up with creative solutions for dealing with the various types of bullying.   Click here to see just how effective this program is with the kids who have seen this production.   Click here to read what teachers are saying.

Our play is designed to inter-actively introduce the topic of bullying awareness to your primary students (JK to Grade 3) as well as to encourage your junior students (Grade 4 to 6) to take part in building a strong, cohesive school community through follow-up discussion and activities.

We will provide creative ideas and follow-up activities that will engage ALL your students and leave them understanding the importance of ensuring your school is a safe and happy place to learn.

Our musical play on this vital topic was created with the guidance and input of one of the world's foremost authorities on the subject of bullying in schools, Dr. Kenneth Rigby of the University of Southern Australia. Dr. Rigby is the author of many publications including the books, "Bullying in Schools and What To Do About It" and "Stop the Bullying". Here's what Dr. Rigby has to say about the work our writers put into the creation of this play.

"As well as being entertaining and good fun, the ideas and suggestions in the production about how young children can help themselves - and others - when, or if, they are being harassed or bullied at school are highly practical and based upon sound research." - Dr. Kenneth Rigby

"Kid-Safe Productions is making a real and meaningful difference in the lives of young people by providing them with fun and educational programs that aid in the awareness and prevention of child abuse and harassment. We are pleased to partner with Kid-Safe to help raise community awareness about these very important issues. "- - Joyanne Callender, Kids Help Phone

After the play...
bully colour book After seeing our plays, we know it's important to continue talking with kids about the topics covered in order to enhance their understanding of them. To help get started with this, we include a fun and creative colouring work-book to be provided to each child for completion with their teacher and/or parent.

The booklet outlines and re-iterates the play's key messages creating an important basis for discussion between adults and the kids they care about. From there, frequently seeking out and making use of teachable moments as well as staying involved in, and aware of, the activities going on in children's lives, helps create a basis for continuing to help protect them. Here is the cover of our bullying colouring book!

"My son and daughter talked about the play all weekend and there were many parents that were appreciative of the fact that we asked you to come and talk to the kids on this issue which seems to be getting more out of hand each day."

Melissa Santagato, Parent Council Representative, (TCDSB)
