We pick friends that share interests with us; this could be colouring or playing football. It's our mutual interests that bond us together.

If someone is angry with you, they probably aren't your friend... or maybe they are having a bad day!

If we like someone, we use nice words to describe them.

A friend is nice to their friends.

[ ]	Tell your friend they are not allowed to play with anyone but you
[ ]	Ask to join in or if you don't like the game force them to change it
[x]	Ask to join in or if you don't like the game play with someone else

You can have more than one friend and so can your friends! It doesn't mean you aren't still friends, it just means you have other people to play with.

Oh no! Your friend says they don't like you any more. What do you do?

[ ]	Demand that they stay your friend
[x]	Ask them why, see if you can fix it and then, maybe find a new friend that will appreciate you
[ ]	Kick them in the shin
[ ]	Eat their lunch

This is never nice but does sometimes happen. Sometimes a friend might not want to play with you or they change their interests and find they no longer have anything in common with you. If this happens, don't worry and know that there are millions of people in the world and so, millions of potential new friends.

You don't want to play with your friend any more. What should you say to them?

[ ]	Go away
[x]	I'm sorry but I would like to try and play with someone new today - you can play too if you like
[ ]	Sorry but I don't like you - go away
[ ]	Get out of my space!

Explain to them that you'd like to try and play with someone else but let them join in too and you can expand your friendship circle together.

How do you know if a friend is no longer a friend?

[x]	They are being mean to you or ignoring you
[ ]	They don't find your jokes funny

A friend can have different interests to you but we mostly get along with those that enjoy the same things as us.

It's always scary joining a new school so try and help them settle in and who knows, they could be your next best friend!
