Bully Safe Game
Source: Board Game Geek
An educational card game based on a systems approach to reducing bullying behavior. Players learn that everyone can play an important role in reducing bullying. Students learn concrete, non-violent skills to use in bullying situations. In addition to the game’s systems approach, it differs from most other approaches to bullying in two important respects. First, it pays attention to the potentially positive role of the bystanders. Second, it gives bullies positive skills to use to achieve their goals without resorting to bullying behavior.  Source: Human Rights and Peace Bookstore.

Goodbye Bully Machine
Source: Amazon
Based on the lively book “Good-Bye Bully Machine,” this anti-bullying game allows players to take turns breaking down the Bully Machine, piece by piece. As players draw cards, they discuss what they’d do in bullying situations, are asked to talk about conflict resolution skills, complement other players, and practice empathy. Each time a player gives a response he or she gets to take away one piece of the Bully Machine from game board. Watch out though; someone might draw a Mean Moment card, which will suggest that a player has done something mean to help build up the Bully Machine. Then the player has to replace one Machine Card. When the machine is totally dismantled, everyone wins.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
