A series of 10 fun and colourful stories about characters who live on ‘Friendship Terrace’. These stories are especially relevant for children who have difficulties in forming relationships and children with ASD.
Designed for children 5-11 years, this resource can be used in a one-to-one setting or in a group, to reflect upon, and teach about, friendship skills.
The Friendship Terrace stories can form the basis of 10 to 12 friendship skills sessions (for example one a day for two weeks). Individual worksheets could be used following the stories to review learning.
Full instructions for use are provided, including how to set ‘ground rules’ and an introduction to friendship skills.
For more information see below.
Each story centres on one character who finds it difficult to relate to and interact with others. By stepping back and reflecting on events, and with a little help from Friendly Freddie, the characters learn and practice positive friendship skills.
The stories help children recognise ‘friendship blockers’ and ‘friendship builders’. Each story has an A4 picture of the character and their house to show to the children, with the story sheets to be read by the teacher or facilitator. Characters and their houses can be made into a frieze for the classroom. Discussion questions accompany the story sheets, with ‘short of time’ and ‘extra time’ alternatives for the teacher/facilitator to employ as appropriate.
The charming stories are charming and engaging and are accompanied by fun, colourful illustrations to help teach friendship skills. Older children may be interested in looking at why a character behaves in a certain way and what feelings are driving their behaviour. The Friendship Terrace stories can form the basis of 10 to 12 friendship skills sessions. Full instructions for use are provided along with discussion questions. For example:
An alternative set of characters with different names are included to help avoid the potentially difficult situation of children having the same name as one of the less positive characters from the Terrace.
Aims: The pack helps children recognise ‘friendship blockers’ and ‘friendship builders’. Teachers, teaching assistants and therapist could use this material one-to-one or in a group, for example in circle time.
