Lesson Plan

Friendship Helpers Lesson Plan

Students will learn three key strategies for getting along—kindness, cooperation, and clear communication—by engaging in a warm-up, practicing role-plays, and reflecting on teamwork behaviors.

Developing strong social skills helps 1st graders build positive relationships, fosters a caring classroom, and reduces conflicts. Learning to work and communicate kindly supports their academic and emotional growth.
