Manners Flashcards

1
Q

I work together with my family.

A

Sometimes I feel lazy,
Or I would rather hunt a daisy.

But I know in the end,
That my family is my friend.

So we all work hard together,
And it makes work like a feather.

Q

I move my body to be healthy.

A

I can feel a little lazy,
Not at all stir-crazy.

But I know to feel my best
I should still sit less.

Moving makes my body strong;
I should do it all day long.

Q

It makes me feel safe to hold an adult’s hand.

A

When I’m out on the town
And I’m feeling kind of down,
I can hold my grown-up’s hand
And feel safe to walk and stand.

Q

I stay calm even when I’m upset.

A

I feel my face get hot
As my anger grows a lot.
I did not get my way;
I did not get a say.

But this is all OK.

Even when I’m mad
Or my heart is feeling sad,
I can use my words to share
And my parents will always care.

Q

Doing big, hard things
Makes me grow stronger.
And when I look back later on,

I am gentle with small things.

When I touch, I must remember
Small things can break.

I share with others.

I want to keep toys to myself

Q

I help protect God’s world.

A

God’s world is big and round and green
And filled with beautiful light.
But when I see trash on the ground,
I’m so sad at the sight.

9
Q

I give more than I take.

A

I love cookies, cake, and candy.
I want more of these.
I want to keep them for myself
And hide them so no one sees.

But I know better and can share.
Preferring others shows I care.

Q

I can be quiet when asked.

A

My loud voice can boom off the walls
And echo through the house.
But sometimes I need a voice that’s small,
Just like a little mouse.

Q

I am an important part of my family.

A

God picked my Mom and my Dad;
He gave us all a role.
He chose me rightly, just for them,
So their hearts would be whole.

Q

I dress for the weather.

A

Is it hot? Is it cold?
Sometimes I don’t care.

I must take care with what I wear.

Q

I love to help around the house.

A

My house can be a pigpen:
Yucky, strewn, and dusty.
And when I’m asked to clean it,
I can feel all rusty.

But then I remember that my home
Is a gift for me,
So I do as I’m asked with a happy heart,
And the house is nice to see.

I can put on my clothes.

My shirt goes up top.
My bottoms down below.
One shoe at a time.

Q

I listen when spoken to.

A

When I’m playing, when I’m busy,
I hate to stop and think.
I’d rather keep on playing.
Stopping sure does stink.

But I have to listen closely
To what others say
So I can honor Mom and Dad
And listen and obey.

Q

I have fun with my family!

A

Family is the best;
They’re who I love to see.

We have so much fun,
And they sure do treasure me.

17
Q

I can make do with what I have

A

Shiny and new, sparkly and bright
The things that I see, I dream of at night.
But I have good things already,
I don’t need something new.
I can use what I have in fresh ways
And do a great job at making do.

18
Q

I am thankful for all I have.

A

It’s time to count our blessings,
I’m sure you like to know,
That I have so many gifts,
I can count them in a row.

Here are the top three,
that are so special to me:

Q

I brush my teeth well.

A

Stinky breath,
Yucky teeth,
Cavity-bugs
Underneath.

Brush first thing,
And last thing too.

Brush your teeth,
Zippity-do.

20
Q

I greet people when I meet them.

A

Hi,
Hello,
How do you do?

It can be hard
To say hello, too.

But if Mom and Dad say
It’s safe to say,
Then I can greet others
Along the way.

21
Q

I chew small bites of food.

A

Giant bites,
Crunching teeth,
Crumbs go everywhere,
Underneath.

Take small bites,
Chew them well,
Now you’re doing
Really swell.

22
Q

I play loud games outside.

A

Boom.
Crash.
Zip.
Zonk.

I hear a game
Of zippity-konk.

Zippity-konk
Is played outside.
Now it’s your turn,
Run and hide!

23
Q

I help with chores.

A

Toys on the floor.
Clothes under the bed.
I can clean up myself;
My mom always said.

It’s not so fun to clean.
It’s more fun to strew it out.
But I’m a big kid now;
I will help without a pout.
