To identify the qualities and virtues of a good friend.

You will need

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

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.
