1. When you are new and you're looking for a friend, just approach someone and say something.

 For example: You've had a test and your looking for somebody to talk to. Maybe you could ask them what they felt about it! Anything will do!

2. Think up a really popular game. Then shout it out and soon you will find that a lot of people will join you!

I find that the human pyramid works!

3. Find something interesting and show it to someone. They'll get transfixed to it and later on you'll be talking to them about it. Sometimes a worm or beetle does it!

4. Offer a person a snack, if you have one, they might take it. Then, you can tell them what you think of it. Like, what flavour you enjoy most, maybe they like the same!

5. If you have a cool hobby, just perform it. After some time, somebody will start watching you and you can start talking about it.
