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.
