Worksheet Description

The “Friendship” worksheet is a hands-on activity designed to teach children about the attributes that distinguish a good friend from a not-so-good friend. It features two broad columns with the headings “Good Friend” and “Not So Good Friend,” each topped with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down icon, respectively. These visual icons serve as intuitive indicators for children to associate positive and negative friendship qualities. The worksheet comes with a set of words that describe various traits of friends, and the task is to cut and place each word into the correct box, reinforcing the recognition of desirable and undesirable characteristics in relationships.

The words provided range from “kind,” “generous,” and “loyal,” to “unkind,” “critical,” and “dishonest,” covering a spectrum of behaviors that can define personal interactions. This exercise not only helps students with word recognition and reading comprehension but also encourages them to reflect on the qualities they value in friendships. By actively sorting the words, students engage in a process of learning that is both cognitive and affective, making it an effective tool for teaching about the nuances of social relationships. The worksheet’s design is clear and child-friendly, making it an accessible resource for teachers to use in discussions about empathy, respect, and the impact of our actions on others.
