The Most Engaging Age-Appropriate Bullying Prevention Speaker for Elementary Schools
Interactive, Age-Appropriate Bullying Prevention Speaker for Elementary Schools
Elementary students learn best when they’re engaged, laughing, and actively involved — not when they’re sitting through another long lecture. That’s why I’ve designed two unique elementary school bullying prevention assemblies: one tailored for lower elementary (grades K–2) and another for upper elementary (grades 3–5).
For more than 20 years, Robert Hackenson Jr. has been a leading bullying prevention speaker for elementary schools, presenting in 49 states and internationally. His approach combines education with entertainment — or as he likes to call it, “edutainment.” Using magic, illusions, humor, and stories, Robert keep kids captivated while teaching them how to resolve conflicts, control emotions, recognize bullying, and build a culture of kindness and respect.
