Shopkin.
Shopkins are
collectibles that
all of the girls
have shown
interest in. Each
girl will
describe their
favorite
character and
give details
about what it is
that makes that
one special to
them. Girls will

what it is about
themselves that
make them
special. They

with one
another.

about

friendship.
Discuss with
the girls what
friendship
means to them
and what it
looks like.
Some
questions: Who
are your
friends? Why
are they your
friends? What
do you do with
your friends?
Also, discuss
what it means
for them to be a
friend to
someone else.
Create a list of
friendly things
to say and do.

the things that
we have learned
