About:
Through Another’s Eyes
Snakes-N-Scales’ Anti-Bullying School Assembly looks at the subject from an entirely different direction than any other Anti-Bullying program, using animals that are often misunderstood and feared, like snakes, spiders and alligators. We try to see through their eyes at ourselves and learn to understand that the point of view of a person, or an animal, is key to understanding. Bullying is often born of dislike; and dislike comes from misunderstanding and fear. If understanding is created and fear eliminated then much of the bullying goes away.
1. Don’t Judge a Book.…How someone looks is never a good way to decide if you’ll like them.--Introduced by a Tarantula!
2. Different Doesn’t Mean Bad…The fact that other people like others things than you doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy each other’s company!--From a Frog!
3. Getting Along Doesn’t Mean Liking, nor does it have to…There are sometimes people that difficult, or even unfriendly, but you can still accept that person for who they are.--Introduced by a Snapping Turtle.
4. Find Things Alike with Others …We can be surprised sometimes at how much others like what we like if we give them a chance to show themselves to us.--By an Alligator.
5. Give Others a Chance to be Friends… You may have to be quiet and let the other person talk, or choose them for your team to be able to get to know them well enough to be their friend.--Intro by a Burmese Python!
See how silly and foolish we all look when we learn that the scary and the weird are really just like us.
Our School Assemblies About Bullying prevention are offered for younger children than most. Our Anti-Bullying School Assemblies, are easily accepted, fun, informative and do not use confrontation or scare tactics, since we learn about the animals and through them, ourselves.
Our Anti-Bullying School Assemblies are specifically designed for Elementary Schools and are run by instructors that are experts in introducing animals to children. We feel it’s a natural stepping stone from discussing differences in how animals can be understood to how people can understand each other. Compassion is always a common link for animals and people. Topics covered are important themes dealing with people, connected back to an animal.
