FRIENDSHIP SKILLS FOR ALL

I am posting the lyrics of a song that touched me many years ago:

BEN

by Micheal Jackson.

Can I invite you to ponder on the lyrics and create an activity or series of activities to develop friendship skills for any age group.

People with special needs or are different in any way are particularly in need of friends.

We need to develop activities to promote social interaction among all.

I don't mean the lonely one needs to learn to make friends ( that's true too )

But the ones who already have freidns need to NOTICE and be concerned about students and othere people who are being left out, isolated, rejected or ignored.

Please post your idease in the comments section.

You can also share your personal stories any other reflections.

They have inspired me to wrote a series of reflections called PUPPY THOUGHTS

Here are the lyrics

BEN

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben (like Ben) Like Ben
