Friendship Reflection Worksheet

Friendships can shape how safe, included and confident we feel in physical activity. Read the team scenario, then answer honestly. You may write about a real experience or use a made-up example. You do not need to share anything private.

Read the scenario

During a PE lesson, Zoe's class is practising a small-sided game. Jamie is new to the group and has not played before. When Jamie misses a pass, two players groan. Zoe says, “Good try—let’s make a shorter pass next time,” then asks Jamie which position they would like to try. Later, the team disagrees about a rule. Zoe suggests pausing, listening to each person, and checking the agreed rule before restarting.

1.Which action in the scenario is the clearest example of helping Jamie feel included?

Groaning when a pass is missed
Offering useful encouragement and asking Jamie to choose a position
Restarting without discussing the disagreement
Taking every turn with the ball

2.In your own words, explain how Zoe's actions show whanaungatanga—building connection, belonging and relationships with others.

3.How might Jamie feel after the missed pass and Zoe's response? Name one possible feeling for each moment and explain your choices.

4.A supportive teammate has to agree with everyone to protect the friendship.

7.You realise that you made an unkind comment about a teammate after they missed a shot. Write one sincere apology and one action you could take to repair the situation.

8.A friend asks you to keep playing even though you feel unwell and need a break. What could you say that is clear and respectful?

9.Describe one strength you bring to friendships or group activities. Give a specific example of how you use it, or could use it, during PE.
