Having friends is good for us.

Friends - Age 5-7

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.

1 .

What is a friend?

Someone that has a younger brother

Someone that you share interests with and play with

Someone that you forced to be friends with you

Someone that doesn't like you that much

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

2 .

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

Eat their lunch

Kick them in the shin

Demand that they stay your friend

Ask them why, see if you can fix it and then, maybe find a new friend that will appreciate you

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.

3 .

A new girl has joined your class. What should you do?

Tell her she is not allowed to play with your friends

Tell her to go back to her old school and old friends

Nothing - you have friends already

Ask her if she would like a friend and offer to play with her

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!

4 .

What can you do to be a good friend?

Help them

Play with them

All of the above

A friend is nice to their friends.

5 .

Who has friends?

Everyone

Only children and teachers

Only girls

Only children

Everyone on the planet has friends as everyone needs to talk, laugh and love!

6 .

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

They are being mean to you or ignoring you

They support a different football team

They eat broccoli for lunch

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.

7 .

Which word would you not use to describe a friend?

Special

Mean

Helpful

Considerate

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

8 .

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

Get out of my space!

Sorry but I don't like you - go away

Go away

I'm sorry but I would like to try and play with someone new today - you can play too if you like

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.

9 .

How would you not describe someone that's your friend?

Kind

Loyal

Angry

Reliable

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

10 .

Uh oh! Your friend wants to play with someone else. What do you do?

Tell your friend they are not allowed to play with anyone but you

Tell this other person to leave your friend alone

Ask to join in or if you don't like the game play with someone else

Ask to join in or if you don't like the game force them to change it

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.
