To build classroom community and celebrate holiday cheer in your classroom, implement Hidden Helpers! Each student is assigned a secret pal. They do something nice for their secret pal each week without letting their pal know who his or her hidden helper is. (Rules: No material gifts) Children can provide a helpful hand, compliment or do a favor for their pal.

Feelings
The Classic Bully Demonstration done around the world: Have kids take a cut out heart: crumple it and stomp on it. Next, have them unfold it and smooth it out. Ask the kids what the heart looks like. Then, have them tell it, "they're sorry." Did saying they're sorry bring the heart back to it's original state? The heart can't be fixed. "That's what happens when a child bullies another child. They may say they’re sorry; however, the "scars" don't fade away." via NY teacher (anonymous)
