Friendship worksheet for children to learn about good friend qualities and behaviors.

Let’s think about what makes a good friend. We’ll fill in each part of the chart step by step.

First, look at the top left box: “What makes a good friend?”
This means — what actions or things do good friends DO?
Examples: They share toys, they listen when you talk, they help you when you’re sad, they say nice things, they play with you.

Now, top right box: “What qualities does a good friend have?”
Qualities are traits or how someone acts inside — like being kind, honest, patient, funny, or loyal.
So we write words that describe their character.

Bottom left: “Examples” — these are real-life situations where someone is being a good friend.
Like: helping a classmate pick up dropped pencils, inviting someone to join your game, saying “good job!” when they try hard.

Bottom right: “Non-Examples” — these are times when someone is NOT being a good friend.
Like: laughing at someone when they make a mistake, ignoring them when they want to play, taking their stuff without asking.

We can use the little pictures on the worksheet to help us too! The kids high-fiving = example. The kid comforting another = example. The kids playing together = example. The kid looking upset while another ignores them = non-example.

Let’s fill it in simply and clearly:
