"Buddies Not Bullies" Anti-Bullying Assembly Programs

Mrs. Cavanaugh, Ms. DoSsantos & Jake Student - Review

Saylesville Elementary School - Lincoln, RI - Anti-Bullying

Bullying is, unfortunately, becoming more prevalent in our schools. It is known to have long-lasting harmful effects on both the victim and the bully. The US Department of Justice suggests many things to reduce bullying in schools. One of these is a whole-school approach in elementary schools. What better way to involve the whole school than with an assembly?

My goal with Buddies Not Bullies is to create a positive message and to promote respect for each other by using the magic that is inside of us. The presentation will encourage students to internalize the importance of the anti-bullying message through storytelling and magic trick. The association between the good feeling of the program and its message will help them to retain the information and recall it when needed.

Inspire your students to be Buddies Not Bullies. Let me show them the magic inside of them.

"Our Students Definitely Came Away With A Positive Attitude About Respecting Others!" "Thank you Domino for coming to our school for the Buddies Not Bullies' assembly.  We have received nothing but positive feedback from the teachers and students.  The kids all enjoyed themselves and definitely came away with a positive attitude about respecting others. Your finishing touch to the show was impressive!"  - Lori S. & Erin P., Thomas Jefferson Elementary, Yorktown Heights, NY

"I would highly recommend this experience." "This was a high-energy assembly that kept students' interest throughout. Combining its powerful anti-bullying message with more light-hearted audience participation, Domino the Great's "Buddies Not Bullies" Assembly was a meaningful investment for our school. I would highly recommend this experience!" - Robert H., Zena Elementary School Kingston, New York

"Domino has a great way of getting a great message about bullying out!" “Domino the Great recently came to our school!  The kids really enjoyed him!  He has a great way of getting a great message about bullying out! Thank You Domino!” - Crystal H. - PTA President - Van Corlaer Elementary School - Schenectady City School District

"Our Students Loved Your Assembly And Were Very Engaged!" "Domino was great for our PreK-2nd grade elementary school! He got the message across about showing RESPECT to others and to be a buddy not a bully.  Our students loved your assembly and were very engaged. Many of students told me after how much they loved his magic tricks and how they learned about Respect and being a buddy!" Michelle Lakefield - Guidance Counselor - Dickerson School - Chester, New Jersey

Amazing Magic Tricks: Nothing captures attention more than magic. My tricks are an important part of the program and emphasize the power of friendship, teamwork, and respect.

Age-Appropriate Humor: Who doesn’t love to laugh? Humor is a tried-and-true way to engage kids’ interest. I use jokes throughout the program to keep them interested in the anti-bullying message.
