Friendship Fix

Welcome the students warmly. Explain that today’s lesson is called “Friendship Fix.” Tell them we’re going to learn how our words and actions affect our friends and how we can make things better when we’ve hurt each other’s feelings.

Today's Goals

Read through each goal aloud and check for understanding. Encourage students to listen to one another and share honestly.

Reflect on Our Actions

Hand out the [Feelings Impact Chart](#feelings-impact-chart). Guide students to fill in one example of something that happened between them: behavior, how it made each feel, and why it matters for a friendship.

Role-Play Positive Responses

Give each student a [Conflict Scenario Card](#conflict-scenario-cards). Invite them to read their scenario, brainstorm two kind responses, and then role-play while the other gives feedback.

Make Our Friendship Fix

Share the [Friendship Fix Agreement](#friendship-fix-agreement). Prompt students to each write or draw two promises, then sign or mark it. Conclude with a handshake or high-five.
