Friendship bracelets

Children braid bracelets from embroidery floss or string beads and exchange them.

Steps

1. Conversation: what it means to be a good friend.
2. Younger children string large beads on an elastic band, older ones braid a string or simple weave from floss.
3. Everyone gives a bracelet to a person they want to make friends with or thank.

Tip: A good activity for a holiday duty in preschool or a day camp.
