This free Find Something Special in Others and Friendship Fortune Teller activity pack is a child friendly, printable PDF designed to help children, kids and young people build friendships, social skills and confidence. The first activity invites children to get to know friends, classmates or family members by finding someone who matches each description, such as someone who loves to read, someone who has a nice smile, someone who helps others or someone born in another country. Children write names in each box, which helps them practise communication, inclusion and positive noticing.
The pack also includes two Friendship Fortune Tellers with fun, open questions that help children start conversations, share ideas and learn more about each other. Questions include what made you happy today, what challenge you have recently done, where you would like to travel, what new skill you would like to learn or what problem you want to solve in the future. These prompts encourage children to think, talk and listen in a safe and engaging way.
Clear folding instructions are included so children can make the fortune tellers independently or with support. The last page offers simple advice for helping children cope with big life changes, including preparing them early, keeping routines steady, listening to worries, encouraging connection and offering small choices. This guidance strengthens emotional wellbeing and supports children during transitions.
This resource is suitable for parents, carers, teachers, social workers, counsellors, therapists, youth workers and pastoral staff. It can be used in classrooms, group work, therapy sessions, wellbeing groups, one to one direct work or family activities. It supports social skills, communication, emotional development, self esteem and peer relationships.
This downloadable PDF is ideal for anyone searching for friendship worksheets, icebreaker activities for children, social skills printables, conversation starters for kids, mental health resources, therapy tools, classroom relationship activities or direct work tools that help children connect with others and build positive relationships.
