Send him in to school with either a tennis ball like the other mom suggested or a bunch of Pokemon cards to flip through during recess.

The tennis ball will attract a few boys.

The pokemon cards will attract a gaggle of boys.  If he is not familiar with the game or characters get him one of the handbooks so he can talk the lingo.
