Words That Make Us Kind: Practicing Polite Language in the Classroom

This 14-page teacher resource helps children practise everyday polite expressions—please, thank you, sorry, excuse me, and welcome—through short classroom read-aloud stories. Use it during a class meeting, small group, or daily routines to model helpful words in familiar situations and discuss what happened. Children can respond by speaking, pointing, choosing a picture, using a gesture, or communicating with a device, so every way of participating counts. Reach for it when you want to build polite communication and supportive classroom interactions.
