I use the book Enemy Pie several times throughout the school year, but about once a year, I use the worksheets provided on this blog to turn the book into several weekly lessons. It’s such a cute story and friendship problems are something all kids can related to in some capacity.
A few years ago, I made actual enemy pie with some of my social skills summer campers. Okay okay, it wasn’t actually enemy pie from the book, it was primarily chocolate, but it was delicious!
I did it recently again with a girls group I have to celebrate the end of our friendship unit and it was so much fun!
We started off crushing up some delicious Oreos,
And topped them with with “dirt” (the Oreos) and worms (gummy ones!!). I’ve also used rock candies in previous years.
Before we weren’t allowed to really have “outside” snack parties in school, I would use this activity for my students to invite a friend to group for a fun activity. It’s still great though, and I think I have as much fun as the kids do!
