About the Show

Has anyone ever been mean to you? Laughed at you? Excluded you? Well, you’re not alone, and there’s a lot you can do about it! Meet Scarlett, Brandon, and Caroline. These clever 3rd graders discovered something empowering: if you turn your encounters with kids who bully into a game, they’ll decide for themselves to leave you alone. Now, Scarlett, Brandon, and Caroline want to teach you how to play the game of Baffle Away Bullying! – 3 simple steps to follow anytime someone mistreats you (or anyone else!)

They’ll teach you how to:

  1. Stomach breathe to remain calm and manage emotions
  2. Focus on what makes you happy instead of the negative things happening around you
  3. Interact in ways that are kind, yet also deflect bullying, meanness, or rudeness.

6 age-appropriate bullying scenarios (including name calling, taunting, exclusion, and mimicking), plus lots of humor, and tons of audience participation are woven throughout the show, delivering a serious topic in a fun and engaging way. Audiences will jump up, shout, and shake it out while learning life skills. Watch for attention-grabbing and often hilarious “freeze” poses as the characters consider their options for baffling while they’re being bullied. But, will the strategies they share be compelling enough to get Robert, one of the most disrespectful kids in class, to realize he can change his behavior? There’s only one way to find out!
