No Bully Club

An educational, anti-bully, safe school program that discusses school violence, teasing, self-esteem, confidence, self-control, self-discipline, friendship, compassion, caring and breaking the silence.

Program Synopsis:

The No Bully Club mission is to reduce school violence, bullying and promote school safety. We will share information on how to identify and properly deal with a school bully and offer tips to help reduce the bullying problem and fighting in school reinforcing the benefits of school safety. We will share success stories and proven techniques that will teach students how to work together as a team to help end the school bullying violence in school. We will continue to update our message with new helpful information to open the lines of no bully communication between students that are victims of a bully know that no one has a right to tease, threaten or bully them.

A 45 minute funny, fast-paced program that opens up with Master Peking Duck telling a story of how a squirrel dressed like a girl taught him how to safely stand up to a bully and tell him to STOP IT!

“Sometimes we bring in assembly programs that aren’t worth what we paid them, YOU WERE WORTH IT!”
Bernie Falabee, Principal Raupp Elementary, Lincoln Park, Michigan

Richard then shares a personal story that teaches the difference between goofing around and bullying. Professor Oly Owl explains what a bully is and unknowingly ends up bullying Richard. With the students help, the Professor learns how to take responsibility for his actions.

Next, a group of teachers are turned into dancing bullies and three lucky students have the opportunity to play the principal, a police officer and helping neighbor, to hilariously remind the students that if someone is teasing, hurting or threatening you that it is all right to tell someone who can help you.

As an added bonus, the stage is colorfully transformed into a TV Game Show. Two students and the principal or a teacher are the contestants helping to playfully reinforce the main points of the assembly program.

The puppets, audience interaction, music and factual educational information and free activities page will teach the students what to do if they are being bullied and explain the consequences one can expect if they push, hit, threaten or hurt another student.

You made an impact on our students, everyone still talks about it, also our administration had recommanded the assembly to our other schools because they thought it was a really successful program, I am implementing the workshops and assemblies for 2010-2011 and you are in our aganda for 5 schools. Thank you and appreciate your support.

Dear Richard:

We truly enjoyed your performance and your “HA HA Halloween Show” on October 25th.  The children roared with laughter at Wanda and Headlee.  Everyone walked away with smiles.

Your afternoon presentation to our Primary School students about bullying not only provided great entertainment, but also a powerful message.

I hope many other communities can enjoy your talents and messages foryoung people.

Hi Richard:

Thanks for a terrific show. Your message was clearly delivered and something that could be easily reinforced with our students throughout the year. We'll certainly be using the "Stop it! Stop it now! Or I'll tell someone! message with our Gearing Gators.

Hundreds of Westland families turned off violent television programs and video games last Thursday enjoying a night out together. In all 1700 people attended the city's 11th annual Turn Off The Violence program at the Baily Recreation Center. Ventriloquist Richard Paul also drew crowds for his two presentations "Duck Sense for Kids- "No Bully Club" offering helpful tips and suggestions on how to stop teasing and put an end to the violence. "He was wonderful," said recreation program Supervisor Margaret Martin. "His programs were very interactive, so he had a lot of people coming out of the audience."
