Why We’re Friends

Critical Thinking #14

Worksheet Description

The “Friendship” worksheet is a straightforward and accessible activity designed to celebrate Friendship Day and to encourage students to reflect on their personal connections. With a place for the student’s name at the top, the worksheet invites individual personalization. Central to the page is a large, framed space resembling a picture frame, where students can draw a portrait or symbolize their friendship in a creative way.

Beneath the drawing area are lines for written responses, prompting students to articulate the name of a friend and the reasons behind their friendship. This part of the exercise is valuable for developing language skills and for encouraging introspection about the qualities that make someone a friend. It also helps students to express gratitude and appreciation for their friends by naming specific attributes or shared experiences that they cherish. The design of the worksheet is clean and minimalistic, focusing the student’s attention on the content of their work. This activity can facilitate discussions on the importance of friendship and can be used in a classroom setting to enhance social and emotional learning.
