How Do You Make Friends?

We asked children around the world for some tips on making friends. Here’s what they said.

I make friends by introducing myself and showing new people around. I start talking to them and play with them. I’m a good friend by helping my friends with their struggles and helping others feel more included.

I would say “hi” and invite them to play with me and have fun.

Jett J., age 8, Queensland, Australia

First say “hello,” and then be kind.

Rachel C., age 9, South Cotabato, Philippines

I give a genuine compliment.

I brought some popcorn to my friend. Heavenly Father wants us to serve others to help them feel the Savior’s love.

I like to see how my friends act around others. The key to become my friend is to live by good standards.
