<![CDATA[Bullying is one of the problems in student interactions at school that needs to be prevented through behavioral and character development. Religious activities can serve as a means of habituating positive values in students’ daily lives. This study aims to describe the implementation of religious activities at SDN Kalanganyar, examine the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in religious activities as an effort to prevent bullying, and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in their implementation. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of the principal, PAI teacher, and students of SDN Kalanganyar. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was tested through source triangulation. The results showed that religious activities were implemented through prayers before lessons, recitation of daily prayers, congregational prayer, greeting and shaking hands with teachers, and the 5S culture (Smile, Greeting, Salutation, Politeness, and Courtesy). The PAI teacher acted as a guide, role model, advisor, mentor, and supervisor in shaping students’ behavior and preventing bullying. The bullying found was mostly verbal, such as mocking, calling classmates by their parents’ names, and excluding friends. Supporting factors included habituation, teacher role modeling, school support, facilities, and cooperation with parents, while inhibiting factors included suboptimal communication with some parents and differences in students’ characteristics. It can be concluded that religious activities serve as one supporting effort to prevent bullying through the habituation of positive behavior. Continuous cooperation among the school, teachers, students, and parents is needed.]]>
