Good manners, respectful behaviour and everyday social skills are the focus of this printable children’s activity. The page asks kids to identify positive manners, such as sharing, saying please and thank you, listening, speaking politely and greeting guests, while leaving out unhelpful behaviours like interrupting, cheating or taking things without asking.
This good manners worksheet gives children a simple way to think about polite, respectful choices in everyday situations. Parents, carers, primary school teachers, school counsellors and child therapists can use it to introduce or reinforce social skills with younger learners. The printable page includes a brief explanation of manners, then asks children to colour the boxes that show helpful behaviour, such as holding a door open, asking to help, waiting for a turn, making eye contact when someone is speaking and using “excuse me” appropriately.
It can be used as part of PSHE lessons, social and emotional learning activities, behaviour support work, small group discussions, morning starters, or home learning. The mix of choices gives adults a natural starting point for talking about classroom routines, playground interactions, family expectations, listening carefully, speaking kindly and understanding how actions can affect others.
Children can complete the sheet independently, in pairs, or with adult guidance, then use their answers to explain why each action is or is not considerate. It is also suitable for display follow-up, individual reflection, or as a calm worksheet after a story, role play activity, or class discussion about being respectful. Download and print the worksheet for a practical activity that supports everyday conversations about manners. This resource was created by MyleMarks.com.
