6. Having a common enemy is handy for bonding
No sooner have the two teams reached this ceasefire than a new enemy must be identified to help them all cohere. “No teachers allowed,” they cry with glee as they jealously guard their now shared den.
7. Selling out your friends is not a good look
The touching friendship between Jasmin and Iris temporarily hits the rocks when Iris turns informant. Confronted over the unsanctioned use of a slide, Iris points the finger straight at Jasmin, claiming her friend had told her to do it. A tempting get out of jail card, yes, but one that results in (briefly) tearing them apart. Fortunately, being five-year-old girls, the wounds are quick to heal and before we know it, Jasmin is magnanimously leading a blindfolded Iris around the garden. Phew. If only adult disputes could be resolved so rapidly.
