Introduction
The United Nations have declared 30th July as the International Day of Friendship with the idea that “ friendship between peoples,countries,cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and built bridges between communities”
In this lesson pupils celebrate friendship. They start the lesson by working together to understand what it mean to be a good friend,through a discussion, and then by analyzing a simple text. They finish by working together to make posters celebrating friendship.
Firstly, learners are introduced to the topic of friendship through a simple word game. Then they join in a teacher-led discussion about what makes a good friend. They do a puzzle activity to find 10 key words and use these to complete a gap-fill text about what makes a good friend. Finally, learners work in groups, using the ideas from the lesson to make classroom posters celebrating friendship.
