Buddy Class Activities and Resources

This resource contains engaging and enjoyable activities that can be used with students paired up in a buddy situation!

Students can be paired up in the classroom BUT it’s so much fun to team up with another class, too! An upper grade class can be matched up with a lower grade classroom and students can really form important bonds that strengthen friendship, leadership, and so much more.

Teachers can create a meeting schedule that works within existing time constraints and these activities are ready to be printed and used!
