Friendship Games for Kids

Encourage positive and healthy relationships with an exciting friendship activity from Teach Starter!  With this downloadable resource, students will practice sharing information with others, answering scenario questions, and answering questions about how they feel in a particular situation.

This resource will be great for independent learning centers, to keep in an emergency sub folder, or to use any time of the year when students need to revisit the topic of friendship and relationship building. It can be used with students in a variety of grade levels and with varying ability levels.

No-Prep Social Emotional Lessons

This Friendship Board Game will be a fun addition to your social-emotional curriculum, lessons surrounding friendship, or a good back-to-school activity for students. It includes a set of directions, a game board, 36 playing cards, and game pieces.

To play, students will roll the number cube and move the appropriate number of spaces forward. Students will then complete the action on the game board, which may be to pick a card, high-five another player, or lose a turn. 

Play continues until one player lands on FINISH!
