Lesson: Good Friend

 5/5

Lil’ Iguana says to treat others the way you want to be treated. It is important to act with kindness and respect towards everyone. You should always use your manners when at home, school, and out & about. Things like saying “please” and “thank you” and holding the door for others are great ways to use your manners. This fun activity is a conversation starter about being a Good Friend. While making friendship bread starter, parents and educators should talk to their kids about being a Good Friend and the importance of using manners.
