3. Same and Different: Comparing yourself with a friend: name, age, likes, hair, height, eye colour. Using 'same' and 'different'. Celebrating that everyone is special.

What to watch for

Your age is the number of your birthday.

Help: Your age is how many years you have lived. If you are six, you have lived six years.

Everyone likes the same things I like.

Help: Different people like different things. It is okay if your friend likes something you do not.

If we are different, one of us is better.

Help: Different just means not the same. It is not better or worse. Everyone is special.

Babies can walk and talk.

Help: Babies are very small. They cannot walk or talk. They learn these as they grow.
