Manners Match

Worksheet Description

This worksheet helps students distinguish between respectful and disrespectful behaviors through a simple sorting activity. It presents a list of actions, such as “talking over others” and “using manners,” and asks students to place each behavior in the appropriate column: “Respect” or “Not Respect.” By categorizing these behaviors, students learn to recognize the differences between positive and negative social interactions. The activity encourages them to think critically about how their actions affect others and to identify behaviors that contribute to a respectful environment. This hands-on approach makes the concept of respect tangible and easy to understand for young learners.

The worksheet teaches students the importance of making conscious choices in their interactions with others. It emphasizes that respect is shown through actions like listening, being polite, and using manners, while behaviors such as yelling or rolling one’s eyes are considered disrespectful. By completing this exercise, students learn to evaluate their own behavior and understand the impact it has on those around them. The sorting activity also reinforces the idea that respect is an essential part of creating positive relationships and a supportive community. Ultimately, the worksheet helps students internalize respectful behavior as a key component of their daily interactions.
