Walking through my son's schoolyard, I notice a bench painted bright red. I asked my son, "Is that the only place to sit around here?" He said, "No, that's the buddy bench. When someone feels lonely or they have nobody to play with, they sit there and kids ask them to play." WOW. AMAZING! I then told him how wonderful that was and asked him if he ever used it. He said, "Yeah. When I was new I sat there and someone came and asked me to play. I felt happy. And now, when I see kids on it, I ask them to play with me. We all do. ❤️




Great idea!
That's fantastic! And kids, at least young ones, would have no compunction about approaching someone like that. (which would probably be an issue in HS)
