Listing The Ingredients

Worksheet Description

This Friendship Day worksheet presents a creative and engaging activity designed to help children conceptualize the qualities of a good friend as ingredients in a recipe. At the top of the page, there’s a space for the child to write their name, immediately making the worksheet their own. The title “Ingredients for a Good Friend” is prominently displayed, setting a playful and thoughtful tone for the activity.

The body of the worksheet features a large, outline drawing of a jar, resembling a container one might use to mix together various elements. Below the jar is a label titled “Ingredients,” with several lines where children are encouraged to write down the qualities they believe are essential in a good friend, ranking them in order of importance with the most important qualities first. The instructions also encourage coloring and decorating the label, allowing for artistic expression alongside the written task. This activity not only stimulates creativity but also serves as a valuable exercise for children to reflect on interpersonal relationships and to consider what they value in their friendships. It’s an excellent tool for educators and parents to use on Friendship Day to promote discussions on friendship, kindness, and empathy.
