Grab some crayons, scissors, colorful paper, and glue! You’ve got all you need to teach healthy friendship skills to your students! Students will love laughing and learning with their small groups while using these interactive and enlightening activities. 

Precut the materials or spend extra time getting to know your students better as they cut and create their books.  With this download, you will save time on lesson prep, and in the end, your students will walk away with a highly informative keepsake. 

Activities in each session are designed to build upon one another as students create additional pages in their interactive books. After each session, I collect all newly made pages (held together by a paperclip) and keep them until the very last session. I then bind them together, creating a precious memory for students to refer back to as needed. 

Counselors & Teachers Like You Said:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carlyn W. says, “Great tool to use with small groups dealing with friendship issues.  My girls enjoyed the "girls group" we had once a week (they even were happy to miss recess) to talk about these issues and ways to be true friends.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alison S. says, “I used this resource with a group of second-grade girls who were having a lot of difficulty with getting along with one another and handling disagreements in a productive way. This was perfect for what I needed and I highly recommend it!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nikki C. says, “This worked well with my 5th-grade girl's group.  I like that they were able to learn while creating a really cute book to keep as a souvenir! Good resource!”
