Lesson Plan

Friendship Formula Lesson Plan

Students will identify key qualities of healthy friendships and collaboratively create a simple “Friendship Formula” (e.g., Kindness + Trust + Fun = Strong Friendship) to reinforce positive peer interactions.

Building empathy, communication, and inclusive behavior at an early age strengthens classroom community, reduces conflicts, and helps 3rd graders form supportive bonds.
