Hello friends! Today, we’re going to learn about something very special called good manners. Good manners are all about being kind and polite to the people around us. When we use good manners, we show respect and make everyone feel happy!
When we arrive at a place, the first thing we do is say hello! It’s a nice way to let people know we’re happy to see them. Let’s practice together: say “hello!”
In the morning, we can say “good morning!” In the afternoon, we say “good afternoon!” And at night, we say “good evening!” Isn’t that fun?
When it’s time to leave, we say goodbye. It’s important to let people know we’re leaving. Let’s practice: say “goodbye!”
If we’re going to see someone soon, we can say “see you soon!” And if we’ll see them the next day, we say “see you tomorrow!”
When we want something, we should always say please. For example, “May I have a snack, please?” And when someone gives us something, we say thank you. Let’s practice: say “please!” and “thank you!”
Sometimes, we need to ask if we can do something. We can say, “May I go outside, please?” And when someone says yes, we say thank you!
If we make a mistake, it’s important to say “I’m sorry.” It shows we care about others’ feelings. Let’s practice: say “I’m sorry!”
When we’re playing, it’s important to take turns. This way, everyone gets a chance to have fun. Remember, waiting our turn is a way to show respect to our friends.
Good manners are like magic words that help us get along with everyone. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a manners superstar! See you soon, friends!
Role-Playing Greetings and Goodbyes: Gather in a circle and take turns practicing greetings and goodbyes. Pretend you are arriving at a party and say “hello” or “good morning” to your friends. When it’s time to leave, practice saying “goodbye” or “see you tomorrow.” Notice how it feels to greet and say goodbye to friends. Can you think of other times when you use these words?
Magic Words Scavenger Hunt: Create a scavenger hunt where children look for opportunities to use “please” and “thank you” throughout the day. For example, when asking for a toy or snack, remember to say “please,” and when receiving something, say “thank you.” Keep track of how many times you use these magic words. Can you find five times to use them today?
Turn-Taking Game: Play a simple game like passing a ball or a toy. Each child takes a turn to hold the ball and share something they like, such as a favorite color or animal. Practice waiting patiently for your turn and listening to others. How does it feel when everyone gets a chance to share?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello friends! I’m learning about good manners in class, and I love it! Did you know that having good manners is very important when interacting with the people around us? Good manners are a way to kindly communicate with others. Being kind to others is a way of showing them respect and being courteous.
Have you ever heard of being polite? Well, good manners are the same thing! Today, we’re going to learn how to greet people and how to say goodbye.
[Music]
Hello! What is the first thing we do when we arrive at a place where other people are present? Exactly! The first thing we do is to greet them. We all like to be greeted when we arrive somewhere, don’t we? That’s why we say hello.
There are different ways of greeting people. The most common is to say hello. Repeat after me: hello!
I can’t hear you! Louder: hello! Good job!
Good morning!
But why did I greet the teacher by saying good morning and not hello? Because when it is morning, we can also say good morning. Repeat after me: good morning!
I can’t hear you! Louder: good morning! Good job!
[Applause]
And how should we greet someone in the afternoon? Good job! We would say good afternoon. And if it is nighttime, we would say good evening.
[Applause]
Okay, let’s test your memory! How can we greet someone at any time of the day?
Hello! In the morning, we say good morning. In the afternoon, we say good afternoon. At night, we say good evening. You did that so well!
[Applause]
Goodbye, everyone!
Goodbye!
We have talked about what to do when we arrive at a place, but what about when we leave? Do you think we should leave a place without saying anything? No, of course not! There are different ways to say goodbye. The most common is to say goodbye. Repeat after me: goodbye!
Again: goodbye!
Well done!
See you soon!
Earlier, we said that we can say goodbye when we leave. So why did I just say see you soon to my friends? It’s because I won’t see them again for a few days, and in that case, we say see you soon. Repeat after me: see you soon!
Can’t hear you! Louder: see you soon! Good job!
[Applause]
How would I say goodbye to someone I’m going to see tomorrow? I’d say see you tomorrow. Repeat after me: see you tomorrow!
One more time: see you tomorrow! Great job, friends!
[Applause]
Let’s see how much you remember! When we leave a place at any time of the day, we can say goodbye. When we aren’t going to see the person for a few days, we say see you soon. When we will see the person the next day, we say see you tomorrow.

Hello friends! Today we are going to continue learning about good manners. Did you know that having good manners is very important when interacting with the people around us? Good manners help us to communicate kindly with others. Being kind to others is a way of showing them respect and being courteous.
Have you ever heard of being polite? Well, good manners are the same thing! Today, we’re going to learn about saying please and thank you, and asking for permission.
[Music]
Dad, I’m so hungry! I want something to eat right now. Is that the right way to ask Dad to make dinner? Isn’t there something missing? Exactly! We should ask nicely by saying please.
“Dad, I’m very hungry. Can we have dinner soon, please?”
“Of course, son! I’ll get dinner ready right away.”
Much better, right? Just look at my father’s reaction!
Let’s try again. Imagine you go to a fruit shop to buy some oranges. How would you ask for them?
“May I have a pound of oranges, please?”
“Of course! Right away!”
Well done! When we ask nicely, the fruit man replies kindly. So that you don’t forget, repeat after me: please!
I can’t hear you! Louder: please! Good job!
[Applause]
Here you go! Enjoy!
Thank you!
Did you hear what I said at the end to the fruit man? I said thank you! When we have something we are thankful for, we should say thank you. Repeat after me: thank you!
Louder: thank you! Well done, friends!
Let’s see how much you remember! When we want something, we say please, right? When we want to thank someone for something, we say thank you. Fantastic!
[Applause]
We have to ask permission to do some things before we do them. For example, if we are in class and we need to go to the bathroom, we need to ask the teacher if we can go.
These are very simple actions, but they are also necessary for getting along with each other. In this case, we can use please and thank you.
“May I go to the bathroom, please?”
“Yes, of course!”
“Thank you!”
[Applause]
We can also ask permission to do things at home, like watching TV.
“Dad, can I watch cartoons for a little while, please?”
“I see that you’re done with your homework, so sure! You can watch TV until dinner.”
“Thank you!”
What would happen if we all did whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted? It would be chaos! That is why it is important to ask permission.
