2. Role play good manners with a student (teacher modeling the manners)
in preparation for the practice activity. |

C. Practice-
Role play good manners:
Pair up students and have each pair model three sets of good manners.
First give each student a toy and have one student say "May I please
play with the toy when you are done?" Next have one student pretend
to sneeze making sure to cover his mouth. The other student then says
"Bless you." Finally, have some crayons just out of reach of one student
but closer to the other. Have the farther student say, "Please pass
me the crayons." Praise the students for wonderful manners and prompt
them when necessary. |

D. Independent Practice-
1. Worksheets: Have children circle or color the option which shows
good manners. (Discuss what is going on for students who need it).
2. "Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough reminder" Craft:
Draw face on the paper plate, cut out hand shapes, glue tissues to
the nose on the face, then glue the hands on top of the tissue.

any of the manners behaviors. |

| Send the craft home with the students and remind them that good
manners will help keep everyone healthy and happy. |

7. Evaluation-
|
1. Students had fun, especially with the practice modeling manners
activity. I told them it was an acting/drama activity and they were
very excited about their "roles."
2. Lot's of student's needed help with me describing the action in
the coloring worksheet and if I rewrote this lesson plan, I would
include it as a group activity, describing the scenarios to all the
students as we went down the sheet.
3. Lot's of the kids did model some (but not all) of the manners in
their free play. A few set up the "acting" exercise to do together
again. |

|
8. Teacher Reflection-
|
| This activity was much easier to orchestrate and much more fun than
my last lesson, since I cut it down to only the 4 and 5-year-olds.
I would repeat this lesson, especially the role-play activity. |
