Friendship Passport Booklet

In this resource, students will create their own Friendship Passport Activity. This is a great activity as students take a journey to understanding how to make and keep friends. There are 2 full pages that you can copy as a 2-sided document. You can then either cut out each page (it will be double-sided with activities) or fold the 2-sided paper like a book. (There are directions on this resource.) There are 8 different pages for students to engage with. Here are the 8 pages of activities:

1. Front cover with colouring picture and title.

2. A "Fun Page" for kids to partner with someone and play tic, tac, toe, hangman, create an image from a doodle and the game of boxes.

3. Friendship Strengths Snapshots-A page with 9 images of polaroid like pictures where members of a small group can all compliment each other on a treasured friendship quality each student possesses.

4. Friendship Bingo Game-students will need to ask some questions about who also likes their favourite board game, candy, food, drink, animal, recess game, book, show, and colour.

5. Pick 3 or more Acts of Friendship. Students are encouraged to do an act of friendship. Some of the examples are; play with someone new at recess, write a kind note to a friend, offer to help a friend in need, partner with someone new, say kind words to a new friend, and sit by someone new at lunch.

6. Cactus VS Flower Friendships-students will read a list of healthy versus unhealthy friendship qualities and can write in their own ideas as well.

7. What do I do now? Fork in the road. Students will learn about how to solve friendship conflicts and small problems. They can even add their own strategies.

8. Back page is for their name and listing their own friendship qualities on the back.
