Quick Answer

An interactive friendship activity for teaching your preschool classroom rule, Be Kind. Each child adds an illustrated petal and shares one way to help friendships grow. Together, you create a classroom flower that becomes a visual reminder of kind words, helpful actions, and ways to care for one another.

What’s Inside

A 12-page color printable PDF with:

• 25 illustrated friendship petals, including Take turns, Work together, Ask to join in, and Try a friend’s idea.

• An 18 × 4.5-inch Friendship Flower heading that joins across two printed sheets.

• Two clouds with friendship messages.

• A watering can and heart trail with a thin outline for cutting them as one piece.

• Teacher setup directions and teaching prompts.

• A visual heading assembly guide and finished display example.

• A resource overview with Preschool Vibes Standards.

How to Use

1. Print at 100% / Actual Size on US Letter paper or cardstock. Join the two heading pieces and cut out the clouds, watering can, and petals you plan to use.

2. Arrange the pieces on your own poster board. Draw or cut out a flower center, stem, leaves, and ground using paper or markers. Plan the petal placement before attaching the pieces.

3. Laminate the board and petals separately. Add Velcro dots so children can attach and remove the petals.

4. Give each child a petal. Read the words aloud, talk about what the action looks like, and invite the child to add it to the flower.

Return to the display during everyday play when you notice children taking turns, inviting someone to join, helping a friend, or using kind words. Choose and rotate petals to fit your group. The example shows eight petals on a 22 × 28-inch board; allow more space to display additional petals.

Why It Works

The illustrated petals connect the idea of being kind with specific actions children can see, name, and practice. Building the flower together makes the discussion interactive, and the completed display gives you a shared reference for conversations about friendship throughout the day.
