Module 6 | Being Safe & Healthy in School
Getting to Know Your Classmates
Taking turns, go around the class and each person says their name
and one interesting fact about themselves. The next person repeats
what previous person said and adds their own name and something
about themselves. Continue this until everyone in the class has
introduced themselves.
1. John: “My name is John and I play basketball.”
2. Sonia: “John plays basketball. My name is Sonia and I have a pet turtle.”
3. Katya: “John plays basketball, Sonia has a pet turtle. My name is Katya and I
support Liverpool FC.”
By now you should have met most of the people in your class and should know at
least one thing about each of them. It is important that you try to get to know the
people in your class properly because you will be spending a lot of time with them.
Good Ways
to Make Friends
Talk to them
at break
time.
Be friendly,
smile and
say hello.
Join sports teams
or take part in
school activities
such as plays.
Try to remember
people’s names,
write them down
somewhere.
Ask a person
questions about
themselves to
show you are
interested.
Be helpful. Show
them where their
class is or lend them
a pen or similar if
they need it.
Don’t ignore someone
just because they have
a disability or are a
different race to you.
They could end up
being one of your best
friends.
