Friendship Fruit Salad \u2013 A Collaborative Activity with Heart In our classroom, the Valentine\u2019s celebration isn\u2019t complete without making Friendship Fruit Salad. This activity is a beautiful way to teach children about sharing, teamwork, and how everyone contributes something unique to the group. How It Works: Each child brings a piece of fruit to share.

Then, the students help peel, chop, and mix the fruit to create a delicious salad we all enjoy&#8230;","og_url":"https:\/\/lapetiteclassedemmeg.com\/?p=932","og_site_name":"La Petite Classe de Mme.
