How to use it in class
Start with a short conversation about what friendship looks like during playtime and in the classroom.
Ask children to think of one small action that helps another child feel included.
Children can then draw or write their ideas on the worksheet. Younger children can explain their drawings to an adult if they prefer.
Sharing should be optional. The finished worksheets can also provide a starting point for another conversation about friendship later in the week.
