The Lord has commanded us to love our neighbors as ourselves (see Matthew 22:36–39). You can follow this commandment by being a friend to others. Try one or two of the ideas below. Or write down your own idea!

  • Sit by someone new.

  • Say hello to someone who’s alone.

  • Invite someone to play with you.

  • Learn three new things about someone.

A boy in my class looked lonely during recess. So I went to him and asked if I could play with him. Then we played. I felt good because I helped him feel happy. And that made me happy too.
