Activities for Friendship

Recognizing ways to be a good friend may not come easy to every student. Students may need additional support with recognizing ways to make friends as well as actions that damage a friendship. Teach Starter has created a printable activity bundle for you to use with your students when learning about what it means to be a good friend.

This downloadable resource includes several different activities to use with your students when discussing and encouraging friendship within the classroom. The activities include:

• Cut and paste worksheet where students will sort qualities of a good friend vs. a bad friend
• Writing templates to show how a student made someone’s friendship garden grow
• Templates to use when creating a friendship garden (watering can, flower pot, decorations, water drops)
• 12 prompt cards that show ways to blossom a friendship

When using the craft templates, encourage student to decorate a flower pot and watering can. Students can then decorate and color each of the cut-outs. Students can then write ways to make a friendship grow inside each of the water drops. This can make a great bulletin board or classroom display!
