Activity #8: Get to know a new friend



Description: Draw a picture of a boy or a girl (or print one out). Have your child ask questions about this new friend to help them practice getting to know someone new. Make sure they ask their questions as they would if they were talking to someone.
Age: preschool and up
Purpose:
Question asking
Social skills
Prep time: minimal
What you’ll need: A piece of paper and something to draw with
Fun Factor: This is more to teach a specific skill rather than a fun activity. However, my children were able to maintain interest in the activity to ask many questions.
Tip: Make the drawing while your child is watching (or beside you doing his/her own drawing). This will generate interest. I also drew some objects around the boy to give them hints on what questions to ask. Draw things you know your child likes to increase his/her motivation to ask questions.
