What is a Buddy Bench?

The Buddy Bench is a bench where students sit when they need someone to play with. The idea is to help eliminate loneliness and promote friendship.

Buddy Bench Rules

1. Before you sit on the Buddy Bench ask someone else to play with you first. If they don’t want to play then think of something you would like to do while you wait.

2. The bench isn’t for socializing. Only sit there if you can’t find someone to play with.

3. While you’re sitting on the bench, look around for a game you can join. If you see something you want to do or a friend you want to talk to, get off the bench!

4. When you see someone on the bench, ask that person to play with you.

5. If you’re sitting on the bench, play with the first classmate who invites you.
