Step 1: Become a Shine Squad Hero
Each player takes on a role card with unique superpowers - like connecting people, calming tensions, or speaking up firmly.
Shine Squad is an anti-bullying initiative with a pledge and game built around one simple action framework: Spot. Stop. Support.
It helps young people recognise bullying early, respond safely, and support others with courage.


Notice bullying early.

Interrupt harm safely.

Check in, listen and help.
Take the pledge and help young people choose courage, kindness and action.

For schools, groups and communities
DON'T STAY SILENT
Bullying can look like a joke, a group chat message, being left out, or someone getting picked on again and again.
Many young people notice it, but stay quiet because they feel unsure, scared, or don't know what to do.

Show you are against bullying!

Take the pledge to stand against bullying with courage, kindness and action.
The Shine Squad Promise
Bullying is easier to face when we know what to do. Take the pledge to choose kindness, speak up safely, and support others instead of staying silent.
Together, small actions can help create safer spaces where everyone feels seen, supported and included.

Real change starts with small actions. Here are a few promises from our members.
The Card Game
Shine Squad is deliberately cooperative. Nobody wins by being the hero.
You win by working as a team because stopping bullying in real life is not about one person saving the day, but about everyone choosing to notice, act, and support each other.

Each player takes on a role card with unique superpowers - like connecting people, calming tensions, or speaking up firmly.

Fully cooperative - players win or lose as a team. Each turn, use action cards to respond to harmful behaviours before they escalate.

Neutralise harmful actions and turn bullies into allies before the action cards run out. Everyone wins together - or works out why you didn't.

From the Shine Squad
“Having cards where the script guides the player on what to say - that's really helpful because it gives kids language for whenever they encounter these situations.
“I like that you can convert a bully into someone good. It helps everybody understand there's a learning experience here - for everyone in the room
“People spoke up for me when I needed it most. One said 'Let's be kind.' Another hugged me. That made all the difference. So let's all be Shine Squad
