Friendship Formula Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice a simple ‘Friendship Formula’ (Smile + Ask + Listen) through engaging icebreakers and partner activities, then reflect on their experiences using a guided worksheet to build confidence in making new friends.

Building friendship skills fosters a supportive classroom community, reduces social anxiety, and helps students feel connected and confident in social settings.
