Good morning, little learners! Today, we’re going to talk about meeting new friends and being kind to each other. Isn’t that exciting?
When we meet someone for the first time, we want to tell them our name. This is called introducing ourselves. Let’s practice how to do it!
1. Take the person’s hand gently. This is called a handshake.
2. Look them in the eyes and smile. Smiling shows you are friendly.
3. Say your name out loud. For example, “Hello, my name is [Your Name].”
Let’s pretend we’re meeting new friends. You can say, “Hello, my name is [Your Name].” Isn’t that fun?
Remember, even if you already know someone, practicing is a great way to get better at introducing yourself!
When we meet new friends, it’s important to be friendly and kind. This means smiling, listening, and being nice to everyone.
Great job today! Keep practicing how to introduce yourself, and you’ll make lots of new friends. Stay curious and kind!
Friendship Circle: Gather in a circle with your classmates. Take turns introducing yourself by saying, “Hello, my name is [Your Name].” After introducing yourself, share one thing you like, such as a favorite color or animal. This helps everyone learn more about each other and practice speaking in front of a group.
Kindness Jar: Create a “Kindness Jar” in your classroom. Every time someone sees a classmate being kind or friendly, they can write it down on a piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read the notes together and celebrate all the acts of kindness. This encourages children to observe and appreciate kindness in everyday interactions.
Role-Playing Game: Pair up with a friend and take turns role-playing different scenarios where you meet someone new. Practice introducing yourself and asking questions like, “What do you like to do for fun?” or “Do you have a favorite game?” This helps children learn how to start conversations and show interest in others.

Little people starting out, learning what life is all about. How can we best live together, love ourselves, and respect one another?
Good morning, students! At Manor’s Manner, we’re curious about how to live with others in respectful and pleasant ways. Sometimes in life, at home or at school, we might meet a new person for the first time. Does anyone know what we say and do when we meet someone for the very first time?
Yes! We can ask them if they want to have spaghetti. That’s a nice thing to say to a friend, but before someone can be a friend, we have to introduce ourselves. Who knows what that means?
I do!
Okay, go ahead.
Ask them if they want to have spaghetti.
You all like spaghetti? That’s good to know! But the first time we meet someone, we introduce ourselves by telling the person our name.
We’re going to practice introducing ourselves to each other. Ready?
Yes!
What am I supposed to do with that?
Now you shake my hand.
Oh, I’m doing a handshake.
Hello, my name is Miss Gigi.
Now I’ve introduced myself. Now let’s all practice introducing ourselves.
But wait, that’s impossible!
Why?
We know each other already.
You’re right! You may know each other, but you don’t know those people on our lawn. Remember what to do when you’re introduced: take their hand in yours, look them in the eyes, say your name out loud, smile, and be proud.
Hello, my name is Earl.
Hello, my name is Flip.
Hello, my name is Tinker.
So nice to meet you!
That’s how we introduce ourselves when we meet someone new.
Thanks, Miss Gigi! Great work today! Can’t wait to see you back at Manor’s Manner to explore more ways to be friendly and kind with others.
Stay curious!
