Tomorrow is a big day because it’s my first day of school! I’m so excited to meet new friends. But how do I make good friends? Let’s find out together!
There’s something special called “magic words” that can help us make friends. Do you know what they are? Let’s learn them!
When you see other kids playing, you can say, “Can I join you, please?” Most of the time, they will say, “Yes, of course!” And just like that, you have new friends to play with!
Sometimes, you might need to ask for something. If your tummy feels funny and you need to go first, you can say, “Excuse me, my friends. I’m sorry, but can I go first, please?” Your friends might say, “Sorry, of course. Thank you.” And you can reply, “Thank you, my friend.”
These magic words are very important. They help us be kind and polite to everyone. Remember to use them every day!
After a fun day at school, you can say, “Hey, it was a fun day today! See you tomorrow!” It’s nice to thank your friends and teachers for a great day.
Thank you for learning with me! If you liked this, you can find more fun videos by searching for Ping Pong on YouTube. Have a great time at school!
Magic Words Treasure Hunt: Create a treasure hunt game at home or in the classroom. Hide cards with magic words like “please,” “thank you,” “excuse me,” and “sorry” written on them. Encourage the children to find these cards and practice using each magic word in a sentence. For example, when they find the “please” card, they can say, “Can I have a snack, please?” This activity helps them recognize and use polite language in different situations.
Role-Playing Friends: Pair up the children and give them different scenarios to act out, such as asking to join a game, sharing toys, or saying goodbye at the end of the day. Encourage them to use the magic words they learned. After each role-play, discuss how using these words made the interaction better and how it felt to be polite and kind.
Magic Words Journal: Provide each child with a small notebook to create their “Magic Words Journal.” Ask them to draw or write about a time they used a magic word during the day. They can share their stories with the class or with their family at home. This activity encourages them to observe and apply the concept of politeness in their everyday life and reflect on its positive impact.
