Worksheet Description

The “Friendship” worksheet is a reflective writing prompt designed to help students conceptualize and articulate their understanding of friendship. At the top of the worksheet, there is a space allocated for the student’s name, making the activity personal and directly relevant to them. The primary task is to define friendship, a complex and multifaceted concept, in their own words. This encourages students to think deeply about what friendship means and the qualities that they believe are essential in a friend.

Below the definition section, the worksheet prompts students to consider and describe how they can recognize if someone is truly their friend. This may involve reflecting on actions, feelings, and shared experiences that signify a genuine friendship. The page is adorned with illustrations of diverse children’s faces, representing the universal nature of friendship across different backgrounds. This visual element aims to remind students that friendship is inclusive and varied. The worksheet is structured to foster critical thinking and self-expression, making it a valuable tool for teachers who wish to engage students in discussions about social skills, empathy, and the importance of building healthy relationships.
