Welcome to the Friendship Treasure Hunt!

Introduce the lesson with a fun greeting. Emphasize that today's adventure is all about friendship and teamwork. Mention that you'll be exploring what makes a good friend and how we can show kindness.

What Is Friendship?

Discuss with the students: What is friendship? Encourage them to share ideas and examples of kind acts they have seen or done.

Examples of Kind Actions

Show images or visuals (if available) that depict friends collaborating, sharing, and laughing together. Ask guiding questions to reinforce the idea.

Treasure Hunt Rules

Walk through the treasure hunt rules. Explain that each clue will lead to a station with a mini activity related to sharing or teamwork. Answer any questions about the rules.

Time to Explore!

Coordinate with students as they participate in their treasure hunt activities and afterward, gather the class for reflections. Ask about their favorite parts.

Reflection & Closing
