About this resource
What's inside this resource
In this fun pizza-themed activity, students will reflect on what is important to them in a friendship. Simply read your favorite friendship story and have a discussion about friendship qualities. Then have students match a topping with a friend quality. Then they can cut out the toppings and design their friendship pizza. This is purposefully black and white so students can color and customize their pizza. A full-page instruction handout is enclosed.
