I Can Be a SUPER FRIEND! Created for Tab by Lisa Grant & Rochelle Lentini 2002 1

I like talking and playing with my friends at school. 2

Sometimes, I want to play with what my friends are playing with. When I play, I sometimes feel like taking toys, using mean words, or hitting and kicking. My Friends get sad or mad when I hit, kick, use mean words, or take toys. 3

If I want to join in play, I need to join nicely or ask to play with my friends’ toys. Can I play with you? I can say, “Can I play with that toy?” or “Can I play with you?”. 4

First I stop, then I think about what a Super Friend would do. Super Friends use: Use nice talking, Gentle hands and feet, Look with their eyes, Listen with their ears, & Take turns with toys. 5

I can try to be a SUPER FRIEND. 6

Taking turns can be fun! My friends and I get to play with toys we like. My friend can take a turn, then I can take a turn. If I want to play with my friend’s toy, I can say: “Can I please play with that toy?”. Can I please play with that toy? 7

After I ask my friend for a turn, Can I play with that Toy? sometimes I might have to wait for my turn, but I will get a turn soon. 8

My friends and I like playing together. Sometimes when my friends play, I get upset. I may want them to play with the toys my way. But my friends can play with toys their way and I can play my way, as long as we all play nicely together. 9

My friends get sad when I use mean talking, hit, kick, or hurt toys. I can try to go with the flow instead. 10

I can go with the flow. I can stop, take 2 deep breaths, and say To myself: “I can go with the flow.” I can go with the flow. 11

I like going to school and playing with my friends and teachers. I also like playing with friends at home. But sometimes I have a hard time and feel frustrated or angry. If I feel this way, I need to STOP, THINK, and DO. 12

I can also remember that a Super Friend can stop, take 2 deep breaths, and say: “I can go with the flow.” I can go with the flow. If I am still having a hard time, I can ask an adult for help. I can go to the adult and say: “Can you please help me?” Can you please help me? Can you please help me? 13

Super Friends use: Use nice talking, Gentle hands and feet, Look with their eyes, Listen with their ears, & Take turns with toys, & Go with the flow. 14

Everyone is happy when I am a SUPER FRIEND! 15

I can join my friends and play nicely. I can take turns nicely. CUE CARDS “Stop” on one side. “Cue” on other side. (cut-out and placed on a ring) I can go with the flow. I can stop, think, and do.

I CAN BE A SUPER FRIEND I can join my friends and play nicely. I can take turns nicely. I can go with the flow. I can stop, think, and do. DATE:
