Tuesday February 25th
To be a good friend, you have to compromise with your friend. You can't always play what you want to play or do what you want to do. Being a good friend is listening to your friend and letting them choose the game sometimes. Good friends even offer to do something that they might not like as much because they know their friend really enjoys it.
Ask students to share one way that they can compromise with their friend or offer to do something their friend likes to do more than they do.
