7. Here’s a Song to help you remember:
When you’re feeling blue and got nothin’ to do …
When you’re feeling bad and really kind of sad…
If someone’s being mean or causing a scene…
When you don’t know what to say but you want to play…
Recess is coming to an end and you need a friend…
When you want to talk or just go for a walk…
Go To The BUDDY
BENCH,
The BUDDY BENCH
So take a seat and there’ll be friends to meet!
