1. Most young people can benefit from lessons about dealing with bullies.
   
   Even as an adults we deal with bullies, in person and on the Internet.
   
   Bullies are the greatest cowards. Bullies have no honour.

   Cyberbullying occurs when young people are tormented, threatened,
   
   harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by a bully using
   
   Internet technologies, interactive and digital technologies, or mobile phones..
   
   Though young people won’t get bloody or bruised from cyberbullying,
   
   it can be just as damaging, with long-term effects that will last for years.

2. I like your puppet idea. Could you design your bulletin board as a puppet stage and have the kids act out some situations where they have to use manners? Depending on how much time you have, you could find pictures of situations where it would be appropriate to use manners (please, thank you, excuse me, covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze, etc.) and have the children explain what is happening. There are many great books about manners for little kids. Ask the librarian at your local library about them, and include a few of them in your display. An activity would be to have the kids drawn pictures showing themselves using good manners.
   
   
   
   Post your question again in the Education category and someone there may be able to give you a few more ideas. I think it got posted in Board Games by mistake. Here are a couple of sites that should help you.
