Spiritual Development Activities
Tree of Friendship
To identify the qualities and virtues of a good friend.
Leaf template, tree (you can make a display of a tree or use an artificial tree), felt tip pens, pencil crayons, scissors, glue, ribbon laminating pouches and a laminator.
Firstly cut out a leaf template, alternatively you can draw your own). With a partner or in a small group, discuss the qualities and virtues you think contribute to being a good friend.
E.g. * kindness * sharing * helpful
* compassion * hugs * good listener
* trust * forgiveness * respect
* honesty * patience * loyalty
* giving time * love * encouragement
* believes in you
Now write some of the qualities and virtues of your friends on your leaf and decorate both sides. Laminate your leaf, punch a hole in it and add some ribbon to hang your leaf from your friendship tree.
