![Picture](/uploads/2/6/6/4/26647042/1397177668.png)
Activity One
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.)

2) When the 10 minutes is up; hand each group one of the “Bullying – What is it” handouts. Tell them to divide the ways people bully into the categories on the handout. After the have ways people bully for each category, have them create a definition of bullying and write it in the square on the handout.
3) Have some or all of the groups share their definitions for each type of bullying.
