## Why social skills matter in class

Friendship, personal space, turn-taking and listening sit inside everyday classroom life. Students need clear language for how to join a game, wait for a turn, give someone room, and notice how their choices affect others.

A short poster talk or worksheet after a circle-time discussion gives every student something concrete to do, including quieter learners who need a calmer path in. Keep the focus practical: one skill, one example, one chance to practise.

These resources suit Foundation to Year 6 wellbeing lessons, small-group sessions, and relief days when you want a ready printable without writing a full unit from scratch.

We are not listing specific curriculum code strings here. Check your current Australian Curriculum documents (and your state or territory curriculum, if you report against one) for the exact content descriptions you need for planning and reporting.

## Free making friends posters

The free entry point is **Making Friends posters** for classroom social skills and friendship discussions.

**[Download the free making friends posters](/l/making-friends-posters-school-counseling-forms-social-skills-friendship/ffb25e06-6ba5-4b4d-a61a-ffad0c9747a7)**

What you get:

- Printable friendship / social skills posters for classroom display and discussion
- Instant download from TeachBuySell
- **Free**: no payment needed for this poster pack

Use them as a circle-time prompt, a wellbeing wall display, or a calm independent look-and-talk task while you work with another group.

## How to use in class

### 1. Talk first

Choose one friendship or social skill idea. Discuss what it looks like and sounds like in your classroom or playground. Keep examples local and age-right.

### 2. Use the posters or brochure

Show the free making friends posters, or hand out a short personal space or friendship brochure. Students connect the talk to something they can see and read.

### 3. Practise

Role-play one short scenario, or complete a worksheet / task-card turn. Ask students to explain *what they would do*, not only which answer they circled.

### Handy classroom uses

- **Circle time / wellbeing lesson:** poster talk, then a short practise task
- **Small group:** friendship or personal space focus while the class works independently
- **Relief day:** one clear printable with the skill written on the board as the success criteria
- **Playground follow-up:** revisit the same posters after a break-time issue

A worksheet alone does not teach friendship. Your discussion and modelling do. The printables lock the language in.
