Did you know that a smile and a friendly 'hello' have magical powers? That's right! With the Smile and Hello Game, you can see how easy it is to make new friends at school. It's about giving a smile to someone you don't know very well and saying hello. You'll be surprised at the great adventures and fun that await you when you bravely approach someone. It's like a treasure hunt where you find friendships instead of gold. And if someone doesn't smile back, that's okay! There are so many kids who would love to receive a smile from you. Now it's your turn to be friendship detectives. Let's go!

How it works

Arrived at the schoolyard? Great! Look around and find someone you don't know very well yet. Maybe someone who is standing alone or someone you haven't talked to yet.
Did you find someone? Awesome! Now comes the magical moment: give that person your biggest smile and say a warm hello. You'll see how a little smile can make a big difference!
Does the person smile back and say hello? Wow, you've just opened a friendship door! Go ahead and start a little conversation. You could ask, 'What do you like to play here?' or 'Do you want to play with me?'
Every time you give someone a smile and start a conversation, you are true friendship detectives! You see how much easier it is to make new friends with just a smile and a hello.
What if someone doesn't smile back? No worries, just stay friendly. Your kindness is a treasure. Maybe it's just not the right moment, but you can try again later.
Tell your friends or your class about your experiences. Share how you made friends with a smile and a hello or what you did when someone didn't smile back.
With this game, you not only learn to find new friends but also to be brave, show kindness, and that every attempt counts. Be proud of yourselves, friendship detectives!
