4th Grade Life Skills Part 4

This is our last lesson on finding long term friends and being the kind of friend that others want to have. Now we need to talk about what you do when you actually meet someone that you think might be a long term friend: You talk to them. But there is a problem: Many kids don't know how to have a conversation. They know to tease each other or put people down. That will get you attention, but it hurts your reputation. Other kids just avoid talking much at all because they aren't sure how to start. So let's learn how to start a conversation. Here is your job:


​1. What subjects can you talk about with a friend? Think of something that you are interested in and that you are curious is a new friend might be interested in as well. Write 2 ideas in your life skills journal.


2. What questions can you ask your friend about those topics? Write 2 ideas in your life skills journal for each topic. That equals 4 ideas total.
