Buddy bench

A buddy bench is a special bench that schools or playgrounds can have to help kids who might feel lonely or left out. The idea is that if a kid is feeling sad or doesn't have anyone to play with, they can sit on the buddy bench, and other kids will see them and come ask if they want to play with them. It's a way to help kids make new friends and feel included. It's like saying "Hey, I'm here and I would love someone to play with!" without having to actually say it out loud. The buddy bench is a good way to make sure no one is left out and everyone has a chance to have fun and play together.
