Politeness

[:en]This month our school teaches students about the value of politeness.

One way to teach and emphasize politeness and good manners is through games and play.

“Mother May I?” is a fine example. Children stand in a row and must ask the caller a few yards away whether they can take a certain number of steps. If they forget to say, “Mother May I?” they must return to the start. Have the game include saying “please,” “thank you,” and “your welcome.”

For another version of tag, play “polite tag.” For this game, if the person who is “it” tags someone, they must yell out a politeness rule such as “don't talk over someone!” “no sticking your tongue out!” or “ask before taking something!” If the tagged person can't think of a rule, that person must remain frozen until the round is over.[:zh]This month our school teaches students about the value of politeness.
