Making Friends Pupil Leaflet – Item 604

This is a ‘Making Friends pupil leaflet’ which was an ELSA request. It is written in a child friendly way so pupils will understand.

Included in the Making Friends pupil leaflet:

• Benefits of having friends – a brief description of the benefits of good friendships
• Being yourself – being proud of who you are and your qualities
• Common interests – exploring common interests as a basis of good friendships
• Let’s make friends – Ideas for making friends.
• Nurturing friendships- Advice on keeping your friendships

There is an editable part for you to put your contact details or just your name. Simply type in the blue box. Don’t worry the blue box doesn’t show when you print. You can of course just print it and handwrite your details.

There is also a BLACK AND WHITE version included in the pack.

Important information

This leaflet is meant to be used as part of ELSA Sessions or some other therapeutic session and shouldn’t just be given out to children without some input. They need to learn and understand about friendships.  Please DO NOT just give these out without that important input. They are purely reminders for the pupil to take away and for parents to get involved.

It is your responsibility to decide whether the information in this leaflet will be helpful to your pupils.

Under our terms and conditions these leaflets must not be put onto school websites.

They are for printing and giving to pupils at the end of a session or you could use them as a basis for your session. Work through each part with the pupil. Practise some of the things on there such as friendship qualities or common interests.
