Good Manners

What are Good Manners?

Courtesy, politeness or having good

manners are all about respecting others and

yourself.

How would you feel if someone:

talked to your friend but

turned his/her back on you?

Or if someone…

pushed you out of the way to get

the seat you were about to

sit on?

Or if someone…

let the door slam in your face as you

were about to walk through

it?

Or if someone…

shared your things but

never shared anything of

theirs?

Or if someone…

never said 'please’,

‘excuse me’, or 'thank

you‘?

Good manners is about considering the feelings of

other people, and being the kind of person that others will

like and respect.

In the 'olden days' children were taught about the

Golden Rule:

Or in simpler words:

To make it simple:

If you show good manners

everywhere you go…

then you are more likely to encourage others to behave in

the same way towards you.

Be polite to others. Don't make fun of

anyone - everyone has

feelings.


Don't use bad language - it is

offensive to others.


Put your rubbish into bins, don't leave it for

someone else to clean up.

Having good manners makes you a pleasant person to be

around.

Wherever you go, it is up to you to give a good impression of yourself, your school, your sports team, your group and your family.

Behaving badly doesn't just give a bad impression of yourself.
