Friendship Finesse Lesson Plan

In 30 minutes, students will identify and practice key friendship and social skills—such as empathy, cooperation, and active listening—through check-ins, story discussion, role-plays, and a Friendship Bingo activity.

Building social connections boosts EL and Title I students’ emotional well-being and sense of belonging. This targeted Tier 2 group lesson strengthens peer bonds, communication skills, and school engagement.
