Hello, friends! We’re so happy you’re here with us today. Are you ready for a fun story? Let’s read “How Rude” by Claire Helen Walsh and Olivier Talek. It’s a story about being polite and having good manners. Let’s see what happens!
One day, Duck was having a tea party. It looked like so much fun! There were yummy sandwiches to eat. Which sandwich would you like? Maybe a banana with ketchup? That sounds silly, doesn’t it?
Have you ever tried cheese? It’s really tasty! But remember, when we eat, we should always use good manners. It’s nice to say “please” and “thank you” when someone gives us food.
After eating, it’s time for a drink. Duck had some tea. Do you like tea? It’s important to remember to say “excuse me” if you make a noise after drinking.
Next, there was cake! Who loves cake? I do! What’s your favorite kind of cake? Chocolate cake is so delicious! But we should wait our turn and share with our friends.
Uh-oh! Sometimes we might forget our manners and be a little rude. But that’s okay if we say “sorry” and try to be nice again. Have you ever said sorry to a friend?
At the end of the tea party, everyone remembered to be polite. Saying “thank you” and “excuse me” makes everyone happy. It’s fun to be kind and use our manners!
We hope you enjoyed the story “How Rude.” Remember to always be polite and kind. Thank you for reading with us today! Come back soon for more fun stories. Bye for now!
Polite Puppet Show: Create a small puppet show with your friends or family. Use socks or paper bags to make your puppets. Act out a scene where the puppets are having a tea party, just like Duck. Remember to use polite words like “please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me.” After the show, talk about how using polite words made the puppets feel.
Manners Matching Game: Make a set of cards with different polite phrases and actions, like “saying thank you,” “waiting your turn,” and “sharing.” On another set of cards, draw pictures of these actions. Mix them up and try to match the phrase with the correct picture. Discuss why each action is important and how it makes others feel.
Kindness Jar: Find a jar or a box and decorate it with colorful paper and stickers. Every time you use good manners or see someone else being polite, write it down on a small piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read all the notes together and celebrate how many kind actions you noticed!
