Good Manners puts 60 picture cards to work practicing polite words and kind actions with young children. The cover marks it for ages 2 to 6. Each card works like a tiny story: a painted scene of the same group of children, a “What would you do?” question, and the answer printed in a colored bar at the bottom.

Four sets of 15

  • Everyday manners (red). Please, thank you, you’re welcome, sorry, excuse me, hello, goodbye, may I, can I play too, and no thank you.
  • Social skills (blue). Sharing, taking turns, waiting, listening, not interrupting, asking before taking a toy, helping, including someone who’s alone and giving a compliment.
  • Table manners (yellow). Sitting calmly, using a napkin and utensils, chewing before talking, small bites, asking for food to be passed, a calm table voice, clearing up and trying a new food.
  • Public manners (green). Waiting in line, a quiet voice, walking indoors, personal space, holding the door, leaving others’ things alone, following a sign and putting litter in the bin.

Each set ends with a review card or two, like Manners Master or the Table Manners Challenge, that asks for several of the set’s answers at once. A small tag on each card says whether the answer is something to say, show or do.

Using them

The parent guide suggests choosing three to five cards at a time: name what’s happening in the picture, read the question, give your child time to answer, then model the words and try them once together. The 20 role-play pages take one skill further with three related prompts. The Please page, for example, asks for a turn, thanks someone for a gift and answers a thank-you. The chart has five habits to circle or star each day for four weeks.

The answer key pages list all 60 answers on 8 sheets, each with a one-line coaching tip.

Which file to print

The 4×6 file prints the cards and role-plays at index-card size, one per page, so print at Actual Size on 4×6 card or photo paper. The US Letter and A4 files print each card on a full page, large enough to hold up in front of a small group. The cards are full color, so they need a color printer.
