ACT UP! To Stop Bullying

By MacKID Bridgewater- Danielle Romano & input from Director- Heather Dunham October 26, 2023

Drama Kids is a program that offers educational drama classes at different south shore locations for all ages. The owner Heather has created a great team that teaches kids skills for both on and off the stage. While learning about their programs I came across their “ACT UP! To Stop Bullying” class. An amazing idea! It is a class structured and taught to kids in the 3rd through 5th grade to help with anti-bullying. This program runs through different scenarios and forms of bullying the kids could possibly encounter in their life. A group discussion and activities occur to teach them all how to handle and respond to a bullying situation.  


Drama Kids student workshop Goals:

  • Understand the many and different forms of bullying, from physical and verbal attacks to more subtle forms like purposefully excluding someone from a group
  • See the different roles they can play when bullying occurs, from silent participant to observer to preventer
  • Reinforce that their negative feelings about bullying are very common and shared with their peers
  • Learn how to model good behavior
  • Role play to learn how to identify bullying and practice safe and effective interventions


Bullying affects many children and kids lash out for a million reasons. With Drama Kids they focus on positively addressing the behavior by helping kids recognize the issues and protect each other. Teaching this way creates strong and confident kids that you hope to grow up to be kind independent young humans. It is important that we all do the same to help kids stop being bullied or bullying others. Having your child be a part of the Drama Kids Family is a parent win for many reasons but the main ones are to enhance their self confidence, learn new lessons to take with them throughout their life, and have LOTS of fun! 


Drama Kids is still enrolling students! Here are available classes.
