Looking for a fun, ready-to-use friendship lesson for your primary students? This hands-on friendship classroom guidance lesson is designed to be used with Pre-K to 1st-grade students in a tier 1 classroom setting. The lesson begins with a friendship icebreaker which will get students up and moving around the classroom. I like starting with a movement-based activity as I have found it helps get everyone on the same page and ready to learn. After the ice-breaker activity, there is a friendship read-aloud story, followed by a discussion ball game, friendship song, and coloring page.
This friendship lesson is designed to last about 30 minutes and I have included a counselor's guide so you will know exactly what to do and when. You can also use the included exit ticket to collect data on how effective your lesson was.
Classroom lessons can be intimidating, especially with younger students, but they are a critical part of a three-tiered school counseling program. This lesson was created specifically for primary students so all of the included activities are super hands-on and designed to keep the little ones engaged!
