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 coloring 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 favorite board game, candy, food, drink, animal, recess game, book, show, and color.

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.
