Lesson Introduction: Being a Good Friend

Objective:

Today, we're going to explore what it means to be a good friend! We'll discuss the qualities that make friendships special and how we can be the best friends possible.

Hook: The Friendship Jar

To kick off our lesson, let's start with a fun activity called The Friendship Jar!

Materials Needed:

Instructions:

  1. Set Up the Scene: Begin by explaining to the class that we’re going to create a "Friendship Jar." This jar will represent the qualities that make friendships strong and supportive.

  2. Brainstorm Together: Ask students to call out qualities of a good friend. Write these qualities on the board. Some examples might include:

    • Kindness
    • Trustworthiness
    • Humor
    • Supportiveness
    • Honesty

  3. Create Your Slips: Hand out colorful slips of paper to each student. Ask them to write down one quality of a good friend on each slip, along with a short example of how they can show that quality in their friendships.

  4. Fill the Jar: Once everyone has written their qualities, invite the students to place their slips into The Friendship Jar.

  5. Discuss: Once the slips are in the jar, gather as a class and discuss some of the qualities that were added. Ask questions like:

    • Why do you think being a good friend is important?
    • How can we show these qualities in our everyday lives?

Transition to Lesson:

Now that we have our Friendship Jar filled with wonderful qualities, we can dive deeper into our lesson. Let's learn how to practice these qualities and what we can do to be the best friends we can be!

This engaging activity sets the tone for a lesson focused on personal development, encouraging students to think critically and collaboratively about friendship.
