G.I.F.T. Friendship Factory

Building Friendships, Confidence, and Social Connections.

The G.I.F.T. Friendship Factory Social Skills Program provides children ages 6–8 with opportunities to build and practice social skills through engaging group activities and peer interaction.

Through cooperative games, group challenges, guided conversations, and interactive activities, children have opportunities to practice communicating with others, working as a team, navigating everyday social situations, and building positive peer relationships.

Our goal is to provide a fun and supportive environment where children can strengthen their social confidence while making connections with others.

While children participate in structured activities, families can use this time to attend appointments, work responsibilities, or other commitments.

What Children Practice

Our program focuses on age-appropriate social and friendship skills such as:

  • Joining and participating in group activities
  • Taking turns and sharing ideas
  • Working cooperatively with others
  • Recognizing and responding to social cues
  • Practicing flexibility when things don’t go as planned
  • Problem-solving during social situations
  • Building and maintaining positive friendships

Activities include guided play activities, cooperative games, interactive group activities, and structured transition activities designed to support positive peer interaction.
