Running a boys’ group and need more than one session’s worth of material? Our Boys Friendship Bundle brings together three of our digital counseling games for grades 4-8 on bullying, peer pressure, teasing and friendship conflict. If you’re looking for bullying prevention activities, conflict resolution games, boys’ friendship activities or peer pressure lessons for small group counseling, this bundle gives you a ready-made group plan with zero prep.

So many of our boys brush things off with “relax, it’s just a joke,” or go quiet when a friendship falls apart. A game takes the pressure off. They’re talking about a situation on the screen, working as a team and earning points, and that’s when the real conversations start: what locker room pressure feels like, where banter turns into bullying, and how to tell a small friendship bump from a real red flag.

HOW WE USE IT

A three-week boys’ group: one game a week, starting with The Locker Room Effect, then Beyond the Banter, and finishing with Friendship Temperature Check.
Lunch bunch: one category a session keeps it short and easy.
Classroom bullying prevention lessons: play with the whole class in teams.
After a conflict between students: pick the category that fits and talk it through without naming names.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

The Locker Room Effect: peer pressure, hazing, put-downs and being an upstander
Beyond the Banter: teasing vs. bullying, rivalry, loyalty, gaming and group chats, and respect
Friendship Temperature Check: sorting friendship problems from little bumps to serious red flags, and when to get help

HOW IT WORKS

Split your group into teams. Teams take turns picking a question on the game board, talk it over and answer out loud. Click “Check Answer” to show the answer and teaching point, then award points on the built-in scoreboard. Every game plays with 2 to 10 teams and has a reset button for your next group.

WHY COUNSELORS & TEACHERS USE IT

No prep: open it and play
Boys open up because they’re talking about the situation, not about themselves
Builds respect, empathy, conflict resolution and upstander skills
You save by buying the three games together

IMPORTANT TECH NOTE

These games need the desktop version of Microsoft PowerPoint. When you open a file, click “Enable Content” so the buttons and scoreboard work. They won’t work in Google Slides, Keynote or PowerPoint online.
