For those of you not familiar with it, it is about a little boy who goes to school and the new kid says "Lets play a game about who can say the meanest things to each other." The little boys dad convinces him that the best thing he can say is SO because there is no defense for SO. We practice this for the first couple of weeks and then anytime we have someone saying hurtful things to other people. The kids love it and they want to be picked on. I will pick a child who wants to be the person and I stand there and look them over carefully and then I say something like "Blue hair barrets! Cool people only wear red ones" The kid will giggle and say "SO"( by the way it has to be done with an attitude of indifference and style) Then I looked shocked and say "Well you are not cool if you don't wear red ones" "So" "Well you can't be my friend then." "So" By now the whole class is laughing and saying "So" Then on the playground when a child comes up and says "He called my stupid." I just say what >do you say? "So" That right there is no answer to "So" and you know it isn't true. I teach 2nd and I now have 5th graders that will be standing with me when someone runs up and says He called me______ and they will turn around and say "Just say so there's no answer to so. Elaine /nv/2 After reading the story, everyone sits in a circle and you have a large paper cutout of a girl. Everyone gets the "girl" and wads or folds a piece of her. At the end needless to say she's in bad shape. Explain that every time they do this to her it's the same as saying something hurtful to her. Try to smooth her out and explain that even though she can be smoothed back out the wrinkles are still there, just like even though someone can apologize and be forgiven, the hurtful marks are still left on us. It was a big hit.
