Beane, Ph.D., this card game plays like Crazy Eights, so most kids will have some familiarity with the process.  The cards are divided into four categories: "What Would You Do If", Self-Esteem Boosters, Ways to Stay Bully Free, and "Why Should You Do This?"  Kids get rid of cards (and move closer to being "out" or "bully free") by offering reasonable suggestions and responses to questions.  Meant to be played with adult supervision (a teacher, counselor, or youth worker familiar with anti-bullying themes), the game includes an insert with rules and basic anti-bullying concepts.

In the United States, over 165,000 bullied children purposely miss school every day because they're afraid to go.  Childhood bullying has been a major factor in both youth suicides and school shootings.  "Storm" is an unnerving and stark reality drama of a boy whose ego and self-worth are reduced to the point where he takes his own life in order to, "make it all go away".  Thomas Brown, anti-bullying advocate and film director reflects on his own bullying experience in the classroom presentation of Taking Ninth Graders by STORM.  Here, Tom poses questions and invites debate on matters affecting the film's characters.  Students watching this segment are able to reflect on other students' attitudes toward bullying, providing them an opportunity to weigh their thoughts against those of their peers.

When you're the smallest kid playing a big man's game, the challenges never stop, especially when your name is Danny Walker. Leading your travel team to the national championship is like a dream come true, but for Danny, being at the top just means the competition tries that much harder to knock him off.  This summer, Danny's leaving Middletown and heading to Right Way basketball camp, where he's out of his element and maybe out of his league.  The country's best ball players are in attendance, and Danny will need to raise his game if he wants to match up.  But it won't be easy.  Old rivals and new battles leave Danny wondering if he really has what it takes to stand tall.

Thomas Brown has created another powerful, thought-provoking and touching film about how bullying can change and affect the lives of victims, the bystanders and the bully themselves. There are more than half a million school busses on the road every day in the U.S. alone, with fortunately, very few yearly fatalities on or involving them.  This video presents a "what if" scenario.  What if children were being so discourteous to driver and fellow peers, by engaging in misbehavior and bullying, that it would directly contribute to a driver losing control of the bus? This hard-hitting film does not focus on school bus safety. The film is about school bus BULLYING and what 'could' go horribly wrong. Our story DOES go horribly wrong, resulting lives both lost and forever changed. This film contains some scenes that might be upsetting to more sensitive or younger audiences. It has been successfully tested on grades 3-8.
