Welcome students and introduce the lesson. Say: “Today we’re going to talk about manners—what they are and why they’re important. By the end, you’ll have practiced polite words and actions you can use every day.”

Ask the class: “What do you think manners are?” Capture responses. Then define: “Manners are polite actions and respectful words we use when talking to others.”

Explain each point: “Manners help us show respect, make friends, and create a positive classroom. When we use good manners, people feel valued.”

Discuss examples. Ask for student input on good and poor manners they’ve seen. Then read the list aloud.

Walk through the session outline: discussion, modeling, role-play, and reflection. Emphasize active participation.
