Using visuals to support friendship skills and peer interactions is highly engaging and effective. Friendship Skills to teach include initiating interactions, showing affection/giving compliments, offering assistance, and sharing.  

Visuals to support ongoing peer interactions might include play scripts for dramatic play or a buddy play chart.

You might use: 

• Photos of children in your classroom 

• Create visuals using a program such as chrome extension picto4.me (free) or Boardmaker 

• Visuals online at Teachers Pay Teachers and PreK Teach and Play
