Slide Deck

Welcome to Polite Words!

This introductory slide welcomes the students and introduces the theme of polite words. The teacher can briefly describe what the children will learn about using polite words such as 'please' and 'thank you'.

Using 'Please'

This slide focuses on the use of the word 'please'. The teacher should emphasize that 'please' is used when asking for something and make the content interactive by asking the students for examples.

Saying 'Thank You'

This slide emphasizes the importance of saying 'thank you'. The teacher should praise students for their polite behavior and ask for a couple of scenarios when 'thank you' is used.

Polite in Action

This slide uses visuals or simple images to show children polite interactions in everyday life. Use simple icons or cliparts (if available) and describe what polite behavior looks like.

Let's Practice!

Use this slide to conclude the deck. Encourage children to practice saying both 'please' and 'thank you'. The teacher can ask the students to share their examples before wrapping up the lesson.
