This fun pair of activities allows students to identify and display positive personal qualities in themselves and recognise them in others.

Print both templates on cardstock for durability and cut out the medals; we've included 6 per page. Give each student a medal and certificate template to work on independently. They may wish to discuss their ‘friendship superpowers’ beforehand to generate ideas.

• My Friendship Superpower Medal – Students identify what qualities make them a good friend. They write their ‘friendship superpower’ on their medal and colour it in. Then they punch a hole through the top and add string or ribbon so they can wear it.
• Super Friend Certificate – Once they have completed their medal, the students identify a positive quality about one of their peers and why it makes them a good friend. They then write their certificates and colour them in. You may wish to present the certificates at the end of the lesson.
