Learning to Make Friends in Kindergarten (or Transitional Kindergarten)

Learning to make friends is a big part of beginning kindergarten or transitional kindergarten.  CKA Treasurer and veteran kindergarten teacher, Heather Hardaway Morrow shares this great friends activity with us.

After reading the story Fox Makes Friends, students work in partners to “make a friend”.  We used construction paper scraps but it would also be fun to use other materials as well!


 

What fun activities are you doing to help the kids in your class make friends?  Are there any special books you use to help you teach about friendship?  Please share!  We’d love to hear from you!
