Primary school students - making friends

Bullies pick on students that have no friends.
Students that have no friends have low self esteem. Therefore, when they understand that life is all about differences and similarities, they will also learn to accept themselves as individuals and others.
This section is to teach them about each other, and that making new friends, isn’t as hard as they think.

Instructions:
Print one “Spot the Difference” sheet and get the students to work together as a class or print out one per child.
Print off “buddy worksheet“, one per child.
Get the students to right down their name on a piece of paper and put into a hat or box. (To be used later).
Read to the students the questions from the “buddy worksheet“.
Students can draw or write their answer to the right of the question. (Space provided).
Teachers then pull out two names from the hat/box. These two students will be partners. They will sit down and go over their worksheets and circle their similarities with their partner.
Monday thru Friday ask 3-4 sets of students per day to come up to the front of the class and present their similarities. This exercise can be spread over a few weeks.
