Free SEL Activities for Empathy & Friendship

From Red Nose Day in School and Six Seconds – FriendSkills Building Classroom Community

Social Emotional Learning activities for Empathy, Friendship and Classroom Community.

Red Nose Day in School knows this year more than ever, classrooms need an extra burst of resources to help children’s social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. Research from CASEL shows students who participated in SEL programs experienced an increase in academic performance by 11 percentile points. Students participating in SEL programs also showed improved classroom behavior, an increased ability to manage stress and depression, more positive relationships and better attitudes about themselves, others, and school.

Many students experiencing a disrupted school year may have additional emotional wellbeing needs, particularly in social awareness and relationship skills. Students returning to school may need extra support making friends and re-starting relationships.

The FriendSkills program is designed to support your existing social emotional learning program and includes adaptations for online learning to meet the moment.
