Welcome to Mana’s Manor! Today, we’re going to learn how to be kind and friendly with others. Let’s start with something special we can say when someone does something nice for us. Do you know what those magic words are?
That’s right! When someone gives us a gift or helps us, we say “thank you.” It makes everyone feel happy! Let’s practice together:
When someone gives you a toy, you say, “Thank you!” When someone helps you tie your shoes, you say, “Thank you!” The more we say “thank you,” the better we feel!
Now, let’s learn how to make our friends feel special by giving them compliments. A compliment is when we tell someone something nice about them.
For example, you can say, “I love your drawing!” or “You are so good at sharing!” Compliments make our friends smile and feel happy.
Sometimes, we need to get past someone who is in our way. We can use two magic words: “excuse me.” Let’s practice:
If you want to reach the crayons but someone is in front of them, you say, “Excuse me, please.” This helps us move around nicely without bumping into each other.
Being kind also means helping others. If you see someone who might need help, you can ask, “Would you like my help?”
For example, if a friend drops their blocks, you can say, “Would you like my help to pick them up?” Helping others makes us all feel good inside!
You did a wonderful job learning how to be kind and friendly today! Remember to say “thank you,” give compliments, say “excuse me,” and offer help. Can’t wait to see you back at Mana’s Manor to learn more fun ways to be kind. Stay curious and keep smiling!
Thank You Card Craft: Let’s make thank you cards for someone special! Gather some paper, crayons, and stickers. Think of someone who has done something nice for you, like a family member or a friend. Draw a picture on the card and write “Thank You” with the help of an adult. Decorate it with stickers and colors. Give your card to that person and see how happy it makes them!
Compliment Circle: Gather in a circle with your classmates or family members. Take turns giving each other compliments. You can say things like, “I like your smile,” or “You are a great friend.” Notice how everyone feels after receiving a compliment. How does it feel to give a compliment? Discuss with your group.
Kindness Scavenger Hunt: Go on a kindness scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Look for opportunities to say “excuse me,” offer help, or give a compliment. For example, if you see someone who needs help with their backpack, offer to help them. Keep track of all the kind things you do and share your experiences with your teacher or family.

Good morning, students! At Mana’s Manor, we’re curious about how to live with others in a respectful and pleasant way. Today, we’re going to learn one of the best lessons we can ever learn: when someone gives us a gift or does something kind for us, there are two important words we say. Does anyone know what those two important words are?
That’s right! When someone does something kind for us, we smile a big smile, look them right in the eyes, and say “thank you.” Who wants to help me demonstrate?
Thank you! You’re welcome. Now pass it to me. Thank you! Here you go. Thank you! Here you go. Thank you! Now we’ve all said “thank you.”
I like saying “thank you.” It makes me feel good. Me too! There are so many times we can say “thank you” when we think of all the good things we get every day. In fact, the more “thank yous,” the better! Can we practice?
Of course we can! Let’s think of some times when we can say “thank you.” When someone gets your tea, when someone holds the door, when they help button your shirt, when they make you a nice s’more, when they say that you look nice, and when they say you thrive—these are all times for “thank you.”
That’s how we use “thank you.” Now you can use “thank you” every day. 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! 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.
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 by telling someone what we like about them.
I’ll start: Dean, I love your sweet smile; it makes my day! Thank you! Tinker, I really like the way you think and all the inventions you create. Thank you! Roxy, I really enjoy how you play with your bubbles and how you can always express how you feel. Thank you!
Now let’s practice appreciating each other. I love how you built those blocks; your spaceship castle is for sure the tops! Wow, thanks! Flip, I admire how you read; you’ve learned so well. Roxy, thank you so much! Dean, your jokes are great; you’re a good friend and you’re never late.
Now you can tell your friends and family that you admire them whenever you want by giving them a compliment. 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! 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?
When someone is in our way, we say two magic words: “excuse me.” Now, let’s practice! Who wants to help me demonstrate the important skill of saying “excuse me”?
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!
Now let’s all practice saying “excuse me.” There are so many occasions to use it: walking across the room, needing to get a broom, wanting to get some fries, or when you’re trying to catch a cab.
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!

Good morning, students! We’re curious about how to live with others in a respectful and pleasant way. 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?
Those are great answers! Dean, will you help me demonstrate how to offer help?
Sure! Oops, I’m going to clean those up. Perfect! 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!
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.
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!
