Welcome the students to the lesson, introduce yourself and the lesson topic. Emphasize that today's session is about learning to be a good friend by exploring key qualities like understanding and empathy.

Explain what empathy means. Ask guiding questions such as 'How do you feel when someone listens to you?' and 'Why is it important to understand each other's feelings?' Utilize the Empathy Scenario Booklet to prompt discussion and role-play exercises.

Discuss clear communication skills and the importance of listening. Engage students with role-playing using the Friendship Role Play Cards and highlight how good communication helps us work better together.

Introduce the video 'Respecting Each Other in School'. Explain that this video teaches us the importance of respecting everyone at school and how showing respect can build stronger friendships. Encourage students to think about ways they can show respect to their peers.

Guide students through cooperative challenges. Emphasize teamwork and problem solving with the Cooperation Challenge Worksheets. Conclude with a reflective dialogue about what friendship means to them.

Wrap up by summarizing key friendship skills: empathy, clear communication, and cooperation. Ask students to share one idea that helps them be a better friend and encourage them to apply these skills in their daily lives.
