Good morning, friends! Today at Mana’s Manor, we’re going to learn about being kind and helpful to others. Sometimes, people might need help but feel shy to ask. Let’s find out how we can offer help even when no one asks!
Can you think of a time when someone might need your help? Maybe when they’re looking for a toy, making a sandwich, or trying to do a cool flip! Those are great ideas!
Let’s see how we can offer help. Dean is picking up some toys he knocked over. Let’s ask him if he needs help.
“Dean, would you like my help?”
“Yes, please! Thank you!”
See how happy Dean is when we help him? Now it’s your turn to practice offering help. Look around and see if someone needs a hand. You can say, “Would you like my help?”
Another way to be kind is by giving compliments. A compliment is when you tell someone something nice about them. It makes them feel happy!
Let’s practice! “Dean, I love your sweet smile; it makes my day!”
“Thank you!”
Now you try! Tell your friends and family what you like about them. You can say, “I love how you built those blocks!” or “I admire how you read!”
Sometimes, we need to get past someone who’s in our way. Instead of pushing, we use two magic words: “Excuse me.”
Let’s practice! If someone is in your way, you can say, “Excuse me, I need to get by.” It’s polite and makes everyone happy!
Remember, if you want to get some fries or need to reach the sink, just say, “Excuse me!”
Great job today! Remember to offer help, give compliments, and use “Excuse me” when you need to. Can’t wait to see you back at Mana’s Manor to learn more ways to be friendly and kind. Stay curious and keep being awesome!
Kindness Scavenger Hunt: Go on a kindness scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Look for opportunities where you can help someone or give a compliment. For example, if you see a friend struggling with their backpack, offer to help them. Or, if you notice someone has a new haircut, give them a compliment. Share your experiences with your teacher or family.
Compliment Craft: Create a “Compliment Card” for a friend or family member. Use colorful paper and crayons to draw a picture and write a nice message. Think about what makes that person special and write it down. Give them the card and see how it makes them smile!
Role-Playing Game: With a partner, take turns acting out different scenarios where you might need to use “Excuse me.” For example, pretend you’re in a crowded room and need to get by or you’re reaching for a book on a shelf. Practice saying “Excuse me” politely and see how it helps you move around easily.

Good morning, students! At Mana’s Manor, we’re curious about how to live with others in respectful and pleasant ways. Sometimes in class or at home, someone might need help but not feel comfortable asking for it. Today, we’re going to learn a special type of kindness: how to offer help even when we haven’t been asked.
Can you think of a time when someone might need your help?
– When they’re trying to find a toy?
– When they’re making a sandwich?
– When they want to flip twice in the air and land perfectly?
Those are great answers! Dean, will you help me demonstrate how to offer help?
Sure!
Oops, I’m going to clean those up. Dean has knocked over some toys and is picking them up. Maybe he could use some help.
Dean, would you like my help?
Yes, please! Thank you!
Your turn, Roxy. Would you like my help?
Yes, please! Thank you!
Would you like my help, Dean?
Well, there aren’t many left, but yes, please! Thank you!
Would you like my help?
No, thank you. I’m almost done.
We all offered help. Thanks, Dean, for offering your help and teaching about offering help.
You’re welcome! Now let’s all practice offering help. If we pay attention, we’ll find lots of opportunities to help others and make their lives better.
Would you like help raking that?
Yes, please!
Would you like help shaking up that shake?
No, thank you.
Would you like help moving that chair?
Yes, please!
Would you like help playing with that?
No, thank you.
In our lives, there are lots of times when we can help our friends and family do the things they want to do. That’s how we offer others help. See if you can offer someone help today!
Great work today! Can’t wait to see you back at Mana’s Manor to explore more ways to be friendly and kind with others. Stay curious!

Good morning, students! At Mana’s Manor, we’re curious about how to live with others in a respectful and pleasant way. Sometimes we really enjoy something that a friend has made or done. We can give them a compliment by telling them what we appreciate about them.
You mean like when your mom gives you ice cream and then forgets and gives it to you again?
That’s definitely one example! The point is, whenever we tell people what we appreciate about them, it can really make them feel great. Today, we’re going to practice expressing those feelings of appreciation and telling someone what we like about them.
I’ll start. Dean, I love your sweet smile; it makes my day!
Thank you!
Tinka, I really like the way you think and all the inventions you create.
Thank you!
Oh, I really enjoy how you play with your bubbles and how you can always express how you feel.
Thank you, Roxy!
I love your great attitude and leadership skills; they make everyone around you do better.
Thank you, Miss Gigi!
Now let’s practice appreciating each other.
I love how you built those blocks; your spaceship castle is for sure the best!
Wow, thanks!
I admire how you read; you’ve learned so well!
Thank you!
Dean, your jokes are great; you’re a good friend and you’re never late!
Thanks!
Tinka, I love your shade of orange. Did you know that nothing rhymes with orange except orange?
Thank you! Yes, I knew that!
Now you can tell your friends and family that you admire them whenever you want by giving them a compliment.
Miss James, you explain things so well; we’re happier and better because of it!
Thank you! Now I feel terrific! Great work today! Can’t wait to see you back at Mana’s Manor to explore more ways to be friendly and kind with others. Stay curious!

Good morning, students! At Mana’s Manor, we’re curious about how to live with others in a respectful and pleasant way. Today, we are going to learn about what to do when we want to get somewhere but someone is standing in our way. Who knows what we do?
Pick them up with all eight of your arms and just squish on by?
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!
No, when someone is in our way, we say two magic words: “Excuse me.”
Now I know you’re being funny, Opus, so let’s practice. Who wants to help me demonstrate the important skill of saying “Excuse me”?
I do! I do!
Okay, Dean, come help me. I want to get to the sink, but as you see, Dean is sitting here playing with his toy.
Excuse me, Dean, I’m trying to get to the sink.
Oh, sure!
Thanks, Dean!
Excuse me, Dean, I’m trying to get back to my seat.
Okay, Miss Gigi!
And thanks for being such a great assistant, Dean!
You’re welcome!
Now come sit next to me. Let’s all practice saying “Excuse me.” There are so many occasions to use it: walking across the room, needing to get a broom—excuse me!
Want to get some fries but can’t catch your eyes? Say “Excuse me!”
When you’re trying to catch a cab—excuse me!
When you’re working in the lab—excuse me!
If someone’s in the way, no need to start a fray; just two words you’ve got to say: “Excuse me!”
That’s how we use “Excuse me.” Now you can use “Excuse me” when someone is in your way.
Great work today! Can’t wait to see you back at Mana’s Manor to explore more ways to be friendly and kind with others. Stay curious!
