Antonio is a fourth grader that bullies his peers and he has come to realize that he no longer wants to ne the school bully. Antonio has not friends and does not like the person he is and want to change. Antonio knows that all of his bulling has made no one to like him and with looking at his reflection has come to terms with this and is now asking for help to become a better person. Ice Breakers
Name Train
One person walks around the group and picks one person. That person then puts their hands on the leader 's shoulders and yells their name in whatever tone they want, and everyone else has to mimic it. The leader keeps dragging the train around while the last person
This one is easier to explain through example, so let 's say two girls, Lizzie and Meg, get paired together. They get one long piece of paper (about 6 ft. sheet), and take turns drawing one side (from a front view) of each other. Let 's say Meg drew Lizzie 's left side, so for the right side of the person, Lizzie draws Meg. When both or done drawing, they list random facts about each other in their side. They then show it to the rest of the group. (About 30 minutes)

M&M Questionnaire
You get one or more, depending on size of group, big bags of M&M 's. You open them up and pass the bag around. Each person pulls out 1 M&M and passes the bag to the next person. You continue this cycle until you run out. When all M&M 's are passed out, you begin to ask questions in a circle. Each M&M represents a question. (Red could be "Name one hobby" and blue could be "Name one of your favorite bands".)
You pick which M&M to answer for; when you answer, you can eat the M&M. You must say your name before you answer a question. (The time for this is dependent on group size.)
Role-play social situations with your students. Consider having students assume the roles of bully, victim and bystander and give them common social situations where bullying might occur and have them act them out. The following are some situations that you might have student’s role
After the role play, have your students talk about how they felt and what they might have said or done differently. In this way, students can have a chance to try out their own responses and hear what their classmates might say and do. Give them feedback by having them consider whether their response is likely to get their point across without angering or provoking the other student. If you find that younger students are unable to role play these situations, you might act them out using puppets and then engage them in a discussion.
Class support
I would start by explain to the class that Antonio is sorry for bulling them around and he has come to me and asked for help to become a better person, and with their help we will be able to help Antonio. I would help my students support Antonio by explaining to them that he need friends and support system to change and that I will be with them helping every step of the way.
The Strategy that I would implement for Antonio in order for him to stay on the right path is a good deeds chart, ever morning when he comes to school he needs to try and say something nice to is fellow peers and do something nice for at least three
