Introduction: What Makes a Great Friend? (Slides 1-2)

(Teacher displays Friendship Fix-Up Slide Deck - Slide 1: Friendship Fix-Up!)

Teacher: "Welcome, awesome friends! Today, we're going on a super important adventure to become 'Friendship Fix-Up' heroes. We're going to learn some secret skills to make and keep our friendships strong and happy. Are you ready?"

(Teacher displays Friendship Fix-Up Slide Deck - Slide 2: What Makes a Great Friend?)

Teacher: "Let's start by thinking about what makes someone a great friend. When you think of a really kind classmate or your best friend, what do they do that makes them so special? What qualities do you really like in a friend?"

(Allow students to share their thoughts. Acknowledge and affirm their answers.)

Teacher: "Those are wonderful ideas! Being kind, sharing, playing together – these are all parts of being a great friend. Today, we'll learn even more ways to be super friends!"

Part 1: Positive Attention Power-Ups (Slide 3)

(Teacher displays Friendship Fix-Up Slide Deck - Slide 3: Positive Attention Power-Ups!)

Teacher: "Now, raise your hand if you like to be noticed sometimes. It feels good when people pay attention to you, right? But sometimes, we might try to get attention in ways that don't make everyone feel so good. Our first superpower is 'Positive Attention Power-Ups!'"

Teacher: "How can we get attention in ways that make others happy and want to be around us? The slide gives us some ideas: sharing our toys or ideas, offering to help a friend, asking to play politely, or even giving a high-five or a compliment!"

Teacher: "Let's try one! Who wants to role-play asking a friend to play nicely? Maybe you could say, 'Hey, [Friend's Name], that looks fun! Can I join you?' or 'Would you like to build with these blocks together?'"

(Guide students through a quick role-play. Provide positive feedback.)

Teacher: "Fantastic! When we get attention in positive ways, people are more likely to want to play and talk with us."

Part 2: Friendship Formulas (Slide 4)

(Teacher displays Friendship Fix-Up Slide Deck - Slide 4: Friendship Formulas!)

Teacher: "Our next superpower is 'Friendship Formulas.' These are like secret recipes for making new friends and being the best friend you can be to the friends you already have!"

Teacher: "To make new friends, you can simply smile and say hello! Or invite someone new to play something you like. And try to find things you both like to do!"

Teacher: "What about being a good friend to the friends you already have? The slide says to listen when they talk. That's so important! If your friend is telling you about their favorite game, really listen with your ears and your eyes. What else does it say?"

(Point to the slide points: Share and take turns, Be kind with your words and actions.)

Teacher: "Who can give me an example of sharing and taking turns? How about being kind with your words?"

(Allow students to share. Discuss briefly.)

Teacher: "These formulas help our friendships grow strong and happy!"

Part 3: Honesty Heroes (Slide 5)

(Teacher displays Friendship Fix-Up Slide Deck - Slide 5: Honesty Heroes!)

Teacher: "Our last superpower is being an 'Honesty Hero!' What do you think it means to be honest?"

(Wait for responses, guide them towards 'telling the truth'.)

Teacher: "That's right! Being honest means telling the truth, even when it feels a little tricky or you're worried about what might happen. It means saying what really happened, not making things up."

Teacher: "Why do you think being honest is so important for friendships and for feeling good ourselves? Look at the slide. It says: People trust you! When you're honest, your friends know they can believe what you say. It also says: You feel good inside! And it helps to solve problems!"

Teacher: "Can you think of a time when it might be hard to be honest, but it would still be the best thing to do?"

(Guide a short discussion with simple, age-appropriate examples, e.g., admitting you accidentally broke something, or telling a teacher what really happened during playtime.)

Teacher: "Being an Honesty Hero means you're building trust and showing that you're a really reliable friend."

Activity & Wrap-Up: Friendship Challenge (Slide 6)

(Teacher displays Friendship Fix-Up Slide Deck - Slide 6: Your Friendship Challenge!)

Teacher: "You've learned three amazing superpowers today: Positive Attention, Friendship Formulas, and being an Honesty Hero! Now it's time for your very own 'Friendship Challenge'!"

(Teacher distributes Friendship Challenge Activity)

Teacher: "On your 'Friendship Challenge' sheet, I want you to pick one of these new skills to practice this week. Just one! It could be trying to get attention in a positive way, or practicing listening to a friend, or maybe being extra honest about something."

Teacher: "Every day this week, try to use your chosen superpower. Then, tell a grown-up how it went. You can even draw a picture on your sheet of you using your superpower!"
