We're all aware of the consequences of bullying these days, right?
But being left out or ignored is something our youth report as being much more prevalent in their daily lives than bullying.
We wanted to find out what the effects of ostracism were, and found an excellent role play called "The O Train" that you can easily set up and do with minimal materials and any size group. The entire role play took about 15 minutes, but the discussion afterwards would have lasted longer than the hour and a half we had before the parents showed up!
