A gentle, fun filled way for years P-3 to learn that bullying has no place in their school.
Using the visual power of magic tricks to hold the children's attention, the show sets up conflicts that the children help resolve with the magic words Friends Care, Friends Share
The children are quite literally 'spellbound' for 40 minutes with a perfect 'laughter and learning' mix.
Some of the things they see:
- Scotty Scarecrow sure looks different, but as the children find out, on the 'inside' he's just like you and me.
- A sad face turns into a happy one when everyone is included in the game.
- That lunch stealing Marty Meanie is on the loose again. Crying or fighting doesn't help things but the words you choose do.
- The magic whiteboard comes to life and reinforces all the messages the children have learnt.
- What is bullying?
- Who gets bullied?
- Why do people bully?
- How does it feel?
- Should the bully get away with it?
- What can be done?
- What if your friend is being bullied?
This show teaches students that they have got the power to make the right choices and lets them know that they can feel good about doing the right thing at school.
