Introduction:
Teachers will discuss feeling lonely - being new to school; not being able to find your friends; or being left out of games.
Identify where Buddy Benches are located (back playground, trialling one near staffroom and COLA).
Buddy Bench Rules:
- If you are sitting on the bench, play with the first classmate who invites you.
- While you are sitting on the bench, look around for a game you can join.
- Two friends sitting on the bench can turn to each other and invite each other to play.
- The bench isn't for socializing. Only sit there if you can't find anyone to play with.
