What Makes Someone a Good Friend?
Think about your best friend What do they do that makes you feel good? How do they treat you? What makes you want to spend time with them?
Being a Good Friend Physically
Use kind body language - smile, make eye contact Share toys, games, and materials willingly Help others when they need assistance Include others in games and activities Keep your hands to yourself - no pushing or hitting Stand up for friends when they need support
Physical Friendship Role-Play
Partner up with someone near you Take turns acting out these scenarios: Scenario 1: Your friend drops their lunch Scenario 2: Someone new wants to join your game Scenario 3: Your friend is sitting alone looking sad Show how a good friend would respond physically
Being a Good Friend Orally (With Our Words)
Use kind and encouraging words Listen carefully when friends are talking Ask questions to show you care Give genuine compliments Avoid saying mean or hurtful things Apologize when you make mistakes Keep secrets that friends share with you
Words That Build vs. Words That Break
{"left":"Great job on your drawing!\nYou're really good at soccer!\nI'm sorry I hurt your feelings\nWould you like to play with us?","right":"That's a stupid idea\nYou're not good at this\nI don't want to be your friend\nYou can't play with us"}
Being a Good Friend Emotionally
Show empathy - try to understand how others feel Be patient when friends are learning something new Celebrate your friends' successes without jealousy Offer comfort when friends are upset or worried Be trustworthy and reliable Respect differences and accept others as they are Manage your own emotions so they don't hurt others
Friendship Scenarios Challenge

Remember
"A good friend is someone who makes you feel good about yourself, supports you through tough times, and celebrates your successes. Being a good friend means using your actions, words, and heart to show you care."
