Friendship resolutions aren’t just about giggles and good times (although, let’s be real, that’s a huge part of it!). They help kids build kindness, boost empathy, and create strong connections that last a lifetime. It’s like giving their social superpowers an upgrade!
Here are some fun ideas to make the new year the year of awesome friendships!
1. Compliment Crazy
“I’ll tell my friends something awesome about them every week—like how they have the coolest laugh, epic dance moves, or the most creative doodles ever. Compliments are like confetti—sprinkle them everywhere!”
2. Kindness Ninja
“I’ll surprise my friends with sneaky acts of kindness, like sharing my snacks, helping them beat a tricky game level, or leaving a funny note in their backpack. Ninjas work best when no one sees it coming!”
3. Include-a-Buddy Champion
“I’ll make sure no one feels left out by inviting them to join games, activities, or lunch table conversations. The more, the merrier—friendship is always better with more smiles!”
💡 Grab your My Friends and I friendship book and invite your buddies—especially the quiet or shy ones—to fill it out! Not only will you totally make their day and boost their confidence, but you’ll also get to uncover some fun and surprising things about them through their answers. Who knows? This could be the start of an epic new friendship!
4. Adventure Planner
“I’ll plan at least one fun activity or adventure for me and my friends every month! From treasure hunts to pillow forts, I’ll make sure every adventure is legendary!”
5. Giggle Machine
“I’ll make my friends laugh every chance I get—with the silliest jokes, goofy faces, or a surprise dance-off. Warning: Prepare for laugh-till-your-tummy-hurts sessions!”
6. High-Five Hero
“I’ll celebrate my friends’ wins, big or small, with a high-five so epic it could launch a rocket—or a cheer so loud even the neighbors will join in!”
7. Super Listener
“I’ll listen to my friends’ stories and ideas, no matter how long or silly they are—like the time their cat saved the day or their dream of building a chocolate-powered spaceship!”
8. BFF Cheerleader
“I’ll be my friends’ personal cheer squad, encouraging them to try new things and reminding them they’re unstoppable—even if it’s trying broccoli for the first time!”
9. Problem Solver
“If my friends are feeling upset, I’ll be the superhero who swoops in with hugs, jokes, or solutions—like finding a missing toy or fixing a wobbly block tower!”
10. Sharing Star
“I’ll share my favorite toys, games, or snacks—even the last cookie (well… maybe not the last bite of pizza!). Sharing is caring, after all!”
11. Friendship Protector
“I’ll always stick up for my friends if they need me, whether it’s on the playground or online. No one messes with my crew when I’m around!”
12. Joke Genius
“I’ll learn a new joke every week to share with my friends—like ‘Why did the cookie go to the doctor? It felt crumby!’ Laughter is the best gift!”
13. Friendship Booster
“I’ll boost my friends’ spirits when they’re down, whether it’s with a pep talk, a big hug, or by reminding them how amazing they are—because they totally are!”
14. Memory Maker
“I’ll take pictures, write down funny moments, or create goofy sketches of all our adventures—because every memory deserves its own spotlight!”
💡 An even better way to capture these memories is to invite your friends to fill out your My Friends and I book! It’s the ultimate keepsake to remember your friends forever and relive all the fun for years to come.
15. Listening Champ
“I’ll be the best listener ever by asking my friends how they feel and actually paying attention—bonus points if I can help solve their problems too!”
16. Sharing Secrets Keeper
“I’ll keep my friends’ secrets locked up tighter than a treasure chest. No one will crack the code—promise!”
17. Friendship Reminder

18. Adventure Encourager
“I’ll say ‘yes’ to new games, crazy ideas, and wild adventures—even if it means trying something new and a little wacky. Adventure is out there!”
These friendship resolutions are packed with fun, positivity, and a dash of silliness to keep kids excited about being amazing friends all year long!
