By Room 4

The Bible says…
John 15:12-15 “This is my commandment, that you love one
another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this,
that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends
if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants,
for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have
called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have
made known to you.

What is Friendship
 We brainstormed what friendship looked like, sounds like and
feels like.
 We decided that friendship was based around love and being
loyal to one another.

Problems with Friendship
 We decided that friendships require hard work and commitment
by all parties involved.
 Some of the key issues we found were
 Being unkind or nasty to each other
 Not telling the truth
 The way we talk to each other

Issues
 In the playground the biggest issues came when we were
playing games.
 So we have put together a few video clips showing some of
these issues and how we deal with them.

Ditching / Not Including Others
 Ditching is when we run off on our friend/s when we are playing
a game. Often this happens during the game of tiggy, ball tiggy
and man hunt.
 Not including others is when someone comes and asks to play
and we say no for many different reasons.

Unkind Words / Dissing
 We often speak unkindly to our friends in the heat of the
moment or when playing games, when kidding around and
playing tricks and jokes. Unkind words are no joke.
