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.
As Seen/Heard On…
Unlike traditional lectures where students tune out, Robert’s approach is rooted in “edutainment” — education combined with entertainment. Using magic, illusions, storytelling, humor, and interactive skits, he creates a presentation that not only educates but also captivates. Students leave inspired, laughing, and equipped with strategies they can use immediately.
Younger students are still learning how to identify feelings and navigate friendships. That’s why the lower elementary bullying prevention assembly focuses on:
Engaging Edutainment – Kids remember the lessons because they’re delivered through magic, humor, and storytelling.
This isn’t just another school assembly — it’s a comprehensive bullying prevention program with lasting impact.
If you’re looking for an interactive bullying prevention speaker who knows how to connect with young students, Robert’s elementary school bullying prevention assemblies are tailored to meet the needs of both lower and upper grades.
These programs help kids understand emotions, resolve conflicts, recognize bullying, and build a foundation of kindness and respect that will serve them throughout their school years.

Older elementary students are beginning to navigate more complex friendships — and for many, their first digital interactions. The upper elementary bullying prevention presentation gives them practical tools for both the playground and the online world:
Q: What’s the difference between the lower and upper elementary programs?
A: The lower elementary assembly (grades K–2) focuses on kindness, emotions, and safe responses to unkind behavior. The upper elementary assembly (grades 3–5) adds skills like conflict resolution, digital communication, and responding to cyberbullying.
Q: How long are the assemblies?
A: Each presentation typically runs 45–50 minutes, designed to hold students’ attention without overwhelming them.
Q: Are the presentations appropriate for all learning levels?
A: Yes. The interactive format makes it accessible for all students, including those with different learning styles or attention spans.
Q: Can multiple grades attend together?
A: While lower and upper elementary presentations are best delivered separately, schools can combine grades if needed. Each program can be adjusted slightly to fit mixed-age audiences.
Q: Do you provide resources for teachers after the assembly?
A: Absolutely. Every school gets one year of access to an online curriculum portal with follow-up lessons, activities, and resources to reinforce what students learned.
Q: What about parents? Can they get involved?
A: Yes. Parents and caregivers often have access to on-demand resources and community presentations so the conversation continues at home.
The flat day rate offers up to 4 presentations within 24 hours for 1 flat rate. These presentations can be on different topics, for different grades, at different schools, and can include a parent/community night. This allows schools to work together and maximize budgets and resources.
