Reply #21: I Googled Circle of Friends [View All]

[proud2BlibKansan]

Sounds more like a strategy to prevent playground bullying than an actual game:

Circle of Friends

* Identify students who are targets of bullying behaviours.
* Select students with strong communication and problem solving skills to become their circle of friends.
* The victim may or may not know they are being supported by the students. (This could be done anonymously)
* The circle of friends may stay with the student, or just keep watch over them.
* The victim may begin to feel more accepted by peers and learn better problem solving and communication skills through observation.
* The friends don’t need to know each other. They are often part of a circle of friends for many students on the playground.
