If you want to make a new friend, how do you do it? Often the hardest part is starting to talk to someone for the first time. It helps if you make yourself look like someone who is friendly.
Which of these looks the most friendly to you?
head down
not looking at you
not smiling
not talking
body drooping
arms folded into body

head up
looking at you
smiling face
saying hello
arms wide
standing up tall

So, to look friendly, it's a good idea to look at someone, smile, and then, say "Hi!" or "Hello!" and say the other person's name, if you know it.
1. Offer to join in with something.
2. Help them with something.
3. Ask about how they are feeling.
4. Say something nice about them.
5. Do something kind.
6. Ask them to join in with a game.

New friends can find out a lot about each other by asking questions.
