The Bully Frog Prevention Program
Bully Frog Teaching Stories
Bullying is a world-wide phenomenon. One third of all children in the United States – more than 5.7 million – are estimated to be involved in bullying as bullies, targets of bullies, or both.
The Bully Frog Program is a national bullying prevention program named for the award-winning children’s book on bullying prevention.
- The uniqueness of Bully Frog is that it begins in nursery school and continues through 8th grade.
- For the past 10 years, Bully Frog has been presented to over 250,000 students nationwide.
These are important stories that will enlighten youngsters at their most impressionable age. Set in Leapfrog Elementary School, they are simply told, with many class activities on separate cards in the teacher packages. Bully Frog addresses issues of bullying from four points of view: the victims, the onlookers, the school, and the bully (who needs to be repatriated into the group and able to channel his strengths productively). Forlorn Frog's Valentine's Day teaches the meaning of empathy with the students learning to care for one another's feelings.
Bully Frog was a winner in the 2004 Legacy Book Awards for outstanding books, from the Texas Association for the Gifted and Talented.
The authors, Roni Benson and Ginger Lieberman, are authorities on preventing youth violence. They are co-directors of LIPEN, a Professional Education Network, in New York. They have been conducting workshops for school staff, students and parents for the past 15 years. Their newest workshop is on Cyberbullying and Internet Safety. To book them for a Bullyfrog anti-bullying workshop or presentation, contact Dr T M Kemnitz, Royal Fireworks Press.
The Bully Frog books and poster are lavishly illustrated by Chris Dodge and the Teacher Materials are by Myrna Kemnitz.

As Valentine's Day becomes more and more popular, certain students are vulnerable. Lack of empathy for one another is a form of bullying and can result in great unhappiness. Part of our anti-bullying series (Bully Frog Teaching Stories), in this book the students at Leapfrog Elementary School come up with lots of ideas to make every student feel included on Valentine's Day. It is a lively illustrated book and the varied characters in the class learn at an early age the meaning of empathy.
The students have fun with schemes and gift ideas so that no student feels left out or sad. They come to the realization that empathy means positive caring: showing kindness and consideration to one another, treating everyone equally and with respect.
There is also a coloring book and a set of instructional cards, each with a lesson plan for teachers.
