Buddy Bench

Imagine a school playground without kids? A school playground is a lonely planet for a child who has no friends to play with. This is where the simple idea of Buddy Bench comes into play.

What is a Buddy Bench?

Invented by Christian Bucks who was a student of Roundtown Elementary school, a buddy bench is a special thing that is helping children eliminate loneliness and foster friendships. Christian’s buddy bench idea is quite simple – a child who is feeling lonely can sit on a bench to signal that they need someone to play with. Another kid will come and engage the lonely child in their game.
