5 Ways to Make New Friends

It can be hard to make new friends and connect with new people. Here are five ways to make new friends every day:

1. Ask them to sit with you

Maybe at lunch or any other time in the day, ask someone to sit with you and bond with them. This is a perfect way to make new friends!

2. Find a bus buddy

Do you sit with someone on your bus you don’t know? (Probably not right now because of Covid, but you will have a chance again!) Talk to them! I have made great friends over the years like this. Try it!

3. Just go over and say, “Hi!” 

Simple enough. Plus, it sometimes works. I mean, it’s always an option…

4. Find someone who likes what you like

Then go say something like, “Oh! Cool! I have a pet turtle too!”

This is a great way to make friends.

5. Ask A grownup to help you

Ask a trusted grown up at home if they have any friends with kids around your age. Then ask them when you can meet them!

I hope this helps you make new friends!  The most important thing to remember is this: Treat others the way you would want them to treat you!  If you are kind and loving to others, people will want to be your friend!
