A song you can sing about friends is...
Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold
I have my children sing this to let them know that you can still make new friends and they can still be friends with their old friends as well.

Hand In Hand
Children go through motions with a partner
By myself I'm good, but together we're much better
Together we're much better, hand in hand
By myself I can sing, but together we're better
Together we're much better, hand in hand
Oh Big hands, little hands, clapping hand and waving hands
All different kinds of hand together hand in hand
By myself I can clap, but together we're much better
Together we're much better, hand in hand
By myself. I can jump but together we're much better
Together we're much better, hand in hand
Oh brown hands, pink hands, yellow hands and tan hands
All different kinds of hands together hand in hand

Friends
I have two friends, (hold up 2 fingers on left hand)
And they have me; (hold up 1 finger on right hand)
Two friends and me, (bend each from left to right)
That's one, two, three (hold up while saying 1,2 3)

Friendship Wreath
Paint, large paper, ribbon
Have the children place their handprints on a large piece of paper in a circular shape to create a friendship wreath. Then have the children decorate it with ribbons. Then display it on the wall. Talk about working together and friendship as you make the wreath.
Friend Collage
magazines, paper, glue
Make a collage of pictures of things you like to do with your friends.
Friendship Talk
Make a paper chain of children. Explain that this is like our class - we are each individual people, but all together we are friends! A friend is someone to have fun with, to play with, to laugh with, to sing with, and to share with. A friend is a buddy, a pal - a friend! Who are your friends? What special things do you like to do with your friends? What things do you like to do by yourself?
Bulletin Board/Wall Display
I Am A Special Friend Because.....
Prepare a circle shape for the head, cut out of construction paper, and attach it to a tongue depressor for the body (one per child). The children decorate the faces to look like themselves by adding yarn for hair and coloring in the features of the face.
Write a short phrase on the tongue depressor that completes the sentence, "I am a Special Friend because. . ."
