About This Worksheet
For young children, tolerance starts with simple ideas: we share, we listen, and we include others even when they are different from us. The pages use pictures of friendly and unfriendly actions and of happy, sad and angry faces so your child can link what people do to how others feel.
The 8-page pack builds respect and friendship: children guide friends to a friendship circle, colour tolerant and unkind actions, match feeling faces to actions, tick respectful actions, solve a word search, spot the odd one out and trace We respect everyone.
