Lesson plan: Our friends and us
From the Your World, My World online
resource
Age group: 4 - 7
Aims:
To explore how friends care for each other.
To help children appreciate fulfilling friendships.
To help children learn about their responsibilities towards others.
What to do:
You will need:
Show the photos to the children and explain that each child is
doing something with their friend. Ask the children to think about
what friends do for each other, apart from playing together. How
do they know when someone is a friend? What do they do for their
friends? What makes a good friend? You could also talk about what
it means to feel excluded from friendships. How can children help
others who might be lonely (asking them to join in games, being
friendly, talking to them etc.)?
Now ask children to get into pairs, and give each pair a piece
of A4 paper folded in half and a snapshot. Keeping the crease
at the top, ask the children to write some clues about their child
on the front of the paper. Stress that these clues should be positive.
Inside children should draw a picture of the child or write their
name.
Read out some of the clues to the whole class. Ask children to
guess which of the four children is being described. You could
now ask children to get into pairs with a friend and, with new
sheets of paper, write down clues about each other. Pin all the
sheets onto the classroom wall so that everybody can play the
guessing game.
