Friendship Contract Lesson Plan

Students will collaboratively define what being a good friend looks and sounds like, then create a written Friendship Contract that includes agreed-upon behaviors and consequences for not following them.

This lesson builds social skills, empathy, and accountability by having students articulate friendship expectations and agree on fair consequences, fostering positive peer relationships and group cohesion.
