When Saving Time and Money Is Important and Quality Matters!
Friendship Preschool and Kindergarten Lessons, Crafts, Activities, and Printables
NEW February 2010! Children celebrate the joys of making and having friends with our friendship theme. They engage in sharing and caring activities, games, songs, rhymes, literature, and snacks. The Plant Seeds of Friendship and Friendship Quilt activities are excellent starting points for discussions on friendship behaviors. These behaviors are reinforced when children work together to draw a picture, send each other thank you notes for acts of kindness, learn to read each other's names, and act out friendship skits. Samples of our more than 80 friendship activities, lessons, crafts, folder games, and printables available in our KidsSoup Resource Library:

Cut out all of the handprints and arrange them in a wreath shape on the bulletin board. The palms will be facing into the circle and the fingers will be facing out. Title the board "Our Helping Hands of Friendship." Have each child dictate or write one way that he or she has helped a friend and place the phrases on the board around the wreath
