In this quiz, written for children in years 1 and 2, we take a look at friendships. Humans are social animals and we need friends for the sake of our mental health. So, part of the Personal Education section of PSHE is aimed at showing younger children how to form and maintain good, healthy friendhips.
How good are you at making friends? And, once you have made a friend, how good are you at keeping them? Friendships are important. All of us need friends - even adults. Friends can help us to feel happy and bring so many other benefits. So, learning how to make and be a good friend is very important. Not only for your happiness, but for theirs as well.
Have a go at this quiz. It might help you to be a better friend.

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.

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.

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