My Friend

Learning Outcomes (linked to the EYFS)      

Children will:                    

• Explore what makes a good friend (PSED)
• Explore a range of feelings (PSED)
• Practise sharing thoughts and feelings with each other (CL)

How to Play

1. Children sit in a circle

2. RECITE:

I want to be a friend to you,
And you and you and you.
But being friends with everyone
Is sometimes hard to do.
I don’t always get it right,
So you can help a lot.
Tell me, if I (GRABBED YOUR TOY),
Am I a friend or not?

 3. Discuss: Would you be a good friend if you grabbed a toy from someone? How would it make them feel? 

4. Continue to play, each time replacing ‘grabbed your toy’ wit something different (e.g.: pushed you over/shared my cake/called names/gave you a hug)

Have fun and remember all games, songs and rhymes are original to Pyjama Drama
