The Open the Door show needs an indoor, empty, clean stage or floor space approx. 12 ft deep x 20 ft wide.Also room for the entire audience to sit (floor or chair) comfortably.
1. I can talk to someone when I am angry or having a "bad day". 2. I can "Stop, think, listen & talk" when I am in conflict. 3. I can recognize and help others in distress and not be a bystander. 4. I can teach others the "Open the Door" song and the mime lesson I learned today.
Open the Door is a bullying prevention, conflict resolution, and tolerance school assembly presentation. I rehearse 12-20 students 30 minutes before the program. They become an integral part of the show. My three main principals are: 1. Stop Think Listen Talk, 2. Stand beside someone, do not be a bystander. 3. Open the Door-tell somebody what is bothering you. Subject matter covered changes with grade level.
