Invite a peer to a lunch game
When to use this goal
For middle and high school students who would like company at lunch or in a free period but wait to be asked. Present levels decide fit. A game or shared activity (cards, a phone game, drawing, a ball) gives the invitation a clear purpose.
- Baseline
- Observe 4 or more lunch periods and record whether the student invited anyone and what happened. A lunch club with friendly peers improves the odds.
- Tips
- Score an invitation as met whether the peer says yes or no. Prepare the student for no answers. Peer mentoring programs help.
- Limits
- Peers' responses are outside the student's control. Does not measure the game itself.
