The United Nations put friendship on the calendar in 2011: July 30 is the International Day of Friendship. Classrooms mark it earlier, in the first weeks of school, when a new BUDDY, a PENPAL or a PLAYDATE decides how the year will go. This friendship word find has eleven words about how friends behave, TRUST and LOYALTY first, with room to FORGIVE and to INCLUDE the kid on the edge of the group. The social skills grid on this site covers the classroom rules themselves.
Frequently asked questions
What age is this friendship word search for?
Grade 2 and up. SLEEPOVER and LAUGHTER are the long ones at nine and eight letters, and words run across, down and backwards, so it fits a morning meeting or a buddy bench lesson.
Why are SECRETS on the list?
Because keeping one is the first test of TRUST most children meet. A friend who keeps a secret, and knows which ones should be told to an adult, has learned the difference between loyalty and silence.
