This Friendship Scenarios Pack contains a variety of Friendship Scenarios, along with solutions, activities, and reflective tools to help pupils explore and understand friendship dynamics. These resources are designed to empower you to guide pupils through challenging social situations, assisting them in identifying and expressing their emotions, understanding others’ perspectives, and practising problem-solving in a safe, supportive environment. This resource is suitable for KS2 and Secondary pupils (There are just one or two that wouldn’t be suitable).

The scenarios in this pack are carefully crafted to be flexible, allowing you to tailor your approach to meet the unique needs of each child. For instance, you may choose to use these scenarios in one-to-one sessions or in small group activities. Additionally, you can incorporate them into your regular emotional literacy sessions, reinforcing the importance of friendship, empathy, and communication. Ultimately, these scenarios are meant to be adaptable to different contexts and group dynamics.
