Being a Great Teammate and Friend

In this chapter, you'll learn how to be the best teammate and friend you can be. You'll discover how to use your words to make others feel happy and proud of their work.

Giving Amazing Compliments
When you see something your friend made, you can say wonderful things about it! This is called giving a compliment. A compliment is when you say something nice about what someone did or made. It's like giving them a special gift with your words! 💝
What Makes a Great Compliment?
A great compliment tells your friend exactly what you like about their work. Instead of just saying "good job," you can say something more specific! For example:
- If your friend drew a picture of a dog, you could say: "I love how you made the dog's tail so fluffy! 🐕"
- If your friend built a tall tower, you could say: "Wow! Your tower is so tall and colorful! I like how you used red blocks on top! 🏗️"
- If your friend shared a story, you could say: "That was such a fun story! I liked the part about the singing bird! 🐦"
Using Your Detective Eyes
To give great compliments, you need to be like a detective! 🕵️ Look carefully at what your friend made. Ask yourself:
- What colors did they use?
- What shapes do you see?
- What parts do you think are really cool?
- How did they make their project special?
When you look closely, you'll find so many things to compliment!
Words That Make People Feel Good
Some words are extra special because they make people feel really happy! Here are some magic words you can use:
- "I love how you..."
- "You did such a good job with..."
- "My favorite part is..."
- "That looks amazing because..."

Practice Makes Perfect

Being a Compliment Detective
Here's a fun game you can play! When someone shows you their work, become a "Compliment Detective." Look for clues about what makes their work special:
Colors: "I see you used bright yellow! That makes me think of sunshine! ☀️" Shapes: "You made such a perfect circle! How did you do that?" Details: "I notice you drew tiny flowers on the tree! That's so creative! 🌸" Effort: "I can tell you spent a lot of time on this! You worked really hard!"
When Others Give You Compliments
When someone gives you a compliment, remember to say "thank you!" It feels good to hear nice things about your work. You can also ask them to tell you more about what they liked. This helps you learn and makes the person feel good about helping you!
