Apple's Friends Starter Activities
Here are some Starter activities to help children prepare for Apple’s Friends sessions. Choose the one which is most suitable for your class and the particular activity that you are going to do. You can use the same Starter each week – and create a ritual for starting the sessions – or try different ones, depending on what you find most appropriate for the theme or for the moment. You can also ask your children which Starters they most enjoy and find most helpful. Feel free to add your own ideas.
8. Clap hands
Tell the children that you are going to say various things that we can do to our friends (stick out your tongue, smile, play, push, help). If they think it will be good for the friend, they should clap hands three times. If they think it will make the friend feel unhappy, they should not clap at all. After you begin and the children learn the game, you can let them suggest things to do.
