I think the answers are like this:

John as well as his friends play cricket.

John as well as his friends are going to the party.

This is because this sentence has plural nouns and not singular ones. So, 'are' should be used. 'as well as' over here means 'and'.

John and his friends play cricket.

John and his friends are going to the party.
