Good manners go beyond polite words — they reflect care, respect, and kindness in everyday interactions. Whether it’s taking turns, saying “excuse me,” or offering to help, manners shape how young people relate to others and how others respond in return.
The Good Manners Worksheets include two engaging worksheets. Good Manners invites clients to complete sentence starters using a word bank filled with polite phrases and responses. Practicing Good Manners asks them to take on the role of a “manners detective,” in which they identify good manners in different scenarios.
As children work through each section, they will realize that good manners can build stronger relationships and create a more respectful world. A great follow-up activity is to start a “manners mission of the week,” where kids practice one specific polite behavior each day and reflect on how it made others feel.
To support these lessons, caring adults can do simple role-playing exercises to practice good manners, whether during playtime or while waiting in line. These everyday moments become valuable learning opportunities.
These worksheets pair very well with our Good Manners handout.
