I’m re-sharing a Back to School Friendship activity today. This can be used during those first few back to school weeks to build friendships and celebrate difference or when teaching about comparing and contrasting. I have a whole line of themed venn-diagrams, too!
Back to School Friendship Activity
Group your students in groups of 2 and have them create their hair and face. They can add their eye color by tracing around the black circle on the eyes with a crayon or maker. They can also add any other facial features such as glasses or freckles.
After creating their faces, they record their similarities and differences. I recommend giving your students a set list of what to compare/contrast and a specific amount for each since the space is limited.
For example: 1 favorite color, 1 favorite activity, 1 favorite pet, etc.
If your students are not quite ready to write, they could use the included cut and paste pictures or stickers.
The cut and paste pictures are included within the download.
I found the stickers below at Hobby Lobby, but I’m sure there are also some available on Amazon or other stores.
Goodness, I always love how these turn out! Absolutely adorable! They make THE cutest bulletin board display!
You can find this activity here.
Pin this post to save for later!
