Apple’s Friends is based around a series of stories and the programme has 24 sessions of 45 minutes. Children develop their own positive strategies to deal with problems through engaging activities: listening to stories, discussion, games, role-play and drawing. The Additional Activities Booklet can be used as a follow-on programme to run Apple’s Friends for a second year or to reinforce and consolidate the learning of the programme. There are also Home Activities to reinforce learning at home with parents and carers.
