2.  Today we will address: Manners How should you look?

3.  Definition: Standards of conduct which demonstrate that a person is proper, polite, and refined.  Class Discussion:  What is proper?  What is polite?  What is refined?

4.  Say “THANK YOU” after someone offers you something, or “NO THANK YOU” if you decline the offer.  Say “YES MA’AM/SIR” or “NO MA’AM/SIR”. You should never say “Yeah”.  Always be polite, and use the word “PLEASE” which goes a long way, and doesn’t cost you anything.  Show interest in the topic and person you are talking to, give eye contact, and never interrupt. Think about it. You don’t like talking to someone who doesn’t listen or always interrupts you, do you?

5.  Take turns. It is important to teach to kids that they will make more friends if they are good playmates, and this involves sharing and taking turns.  Be a good sport. Although most kids like to win, no one likes a poor loser or a gloating winner. Be a good sport no matter where you finish in the game.  Be kind to others. Teach everyone to care for others, people and animals. It will make everyone a better person and also builds character.  Remember the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It’s never a good thing to put people down or make fun of them as many people have feelings that could be hurt easily. ANY OTHERS?
