We need to have good manners, show kindness and respect, because when we’re rude to others, very soon we’re all upset! bbing a r G is bad ners. man

Bang !

Good manners are important. They make us nice, you see. And if we’re really nice, the world’s a better place to be.

So it’s time for us to learn the best way to be polite. What should we do?

Come on, let’s try together, then we’re sure to get it right! Let’s learn good manners.

First let’s smile and be friendly, and let’s help each other out. Being kind and caring – that’s what manners are about! are for sharing ! Toys

Next we all must try to learn to take turns with our toys, for then we’re good at sharing, and we’re thoughtful girls and boys!

And of course, we shouldn’t fight, and we shouldn’t name-call, too. If someone won’t play nicely, we ask a grown-up what to do.

1. Please 2. Thank you 3. Excuse me 4. Sorry

Go away!

Excuse me. He’s not being nice.

Now let’s learn the magic words. Here they are from one to four. If we say them, we’re polite – so let’s use them more and more!

Please, Mum!

Let’s start by saying “please”. We should practise every day.

Mmm! Yes, please.

Would you like a drink? Yes, please.

se, can Plea lp m e? he you

Whenever we ask for things, “please” is what we need to say.

uit, pleas e! bisc A

The next words to remember are very important, too. For anything we’re given, we must always say “thank you”. Wow! k you. Than This is for you.

Now butting in and pushing past – that’s rude as rude can be! Instead, show how polite you are by saying “excuse me”.

I’m sorry.

That’s okay!

use me. c x E

And here’s the last magic word. You might think it rather small, but when you can say “sorry”, you’re the kindest of them all!

Now we know all our manners, and we’ve nearly reached the end, but before we close this book, let’s remind ourselves again... your It’s now. n tur

Be friendly and be helpful. Share your toys and take your turn. All these things show we’re polite – what’s more, they’re fun to learn!

And don’t forget “excuse me”— it’s bad manners if we do. Say me.” se u c x “e

Remember the magic words. Start with “please,” then say “thank you.”

Say ank you.” h t “

Can I have a toy?

What’s the magic word?

Last we come to “sorry.” This can be so hard to say.

Say “so rry.”

But if it comes with a snuggle— that makes it all okay!
