Make a Noise with Jill Halfpenny and Benna the Bat!

We've made a brand new lesson plan to help children to find their voice!

Help children to speak up when they see bullying with this story read by actress and Kidscape ambassador, Jill Halfpenny. When Benna the Bat sees someone being bullied, she isn't sure what to do. Luckily, she and her fellow bats come up with a plan.

The free lesson plan includes a story, activity cards, and ideas for discussion. We've even mapped Benna's resource to the curriculum, so you'll know you're meeting key targets.

Suitable for KS1 and KS2. 

Benna the bat was drawn by Laura Brown for Kidscape. You can find out more about Laura's beautiful My Emotions Activity Book on her website
