Let’s go step by step to solve this task.
We are given two columns:
-
The Bully — for sentences that show unkind, mean, or hurtful behavior.
-
The Buddy — for sentences that show kindness, friendship, and respect.
We have 8 sentence boxes to sort into these two columns. Let’s look at each one and decide which column it belongs in.
---
1.
“You’re not my friend”
→ This is rejecting someone in a harsh way. It’s not kind. →
The Bully
2.
“Do you want to join us and play?”
→ This is inviting someone to play. Friendly and inclusive. →
The Buddy
3.
“Treats others kindly and with respect.”
→ Clearly describes good, friendly behavior. →
The Buddy
4.
“I’ll be your friend.”
→ Offering friendship = very buddy-like! →
The Buddy
5.
“You’re not allowed to play with us.”
→ Excluding someone on purpose. Mean. →
The Bully
6.
“Can’t you even figure that out?”
→ Sounds sarcastic and put-down. Not nice. →
The Bully
7.
“I’ll help you understand that.”
→ Offering help = supportive and kind. →
The Buddy
8.
“Pushes, hits or trips others.”
→ Physical bullying. Definitely not a buddy. →
The Bully

Now let’s count how many we have for each:
✔ The Buddy:
- Do you want to join us and play?
- Treats others kindly and with respect.
- I’ll be your friend.
- I’ll help you understand that.
→ That’s 4 sentences.
✘ The Bully:
- You’re not my friend
- You’re not allowed to play with us.
- Can’t you even figure that out?
- Pushes, hits or trips others.
→ That’s 4 sentences.
Perfect — 4 in each column.

Final Answer:
The Bully Column:
- You’re not my friend
- You’re not allowed to play with us.
