Flexible Friends Lesson Plan

By the end of this 30-minute individual session, the student will identify multiple perspectives in common peer scenarios, generate at least two flexible responses using prompts, and practice adapting behaviors through role-play to strengthen friendships.

Flexible thinking enables students to see others’ viewpoints, adjust their responses in social conflicts, and build lasting, positive peer relationships.
