Objective:The objective of the game is to identify good and poor manners.
Supplies:• Royal Manners and Monster Manners
“Posters”
• Royal and Monster Manner Cards
Instructions:1. Included in this material are two 8 ½ x 11
“posters” to use in the game. One is titled Royal Manners and the other is titled Monster Manners. These can be displayed either on the wall above a table or placed in clear plastic photo frames and placed on a table.
2. Copy the cards and cut them apart. Shuffle them and place them in a stack.
3. Explain that when good manners are used, people think we’re acting like a prince or princess. Using poor manners can make us seem like a little monster.
4. Moonbeams take turns drawing cards from the stack and deciding whether the card is an example of good manners (Royal Manners) or poor manners (Monster Manners).
5. After the Moonbeam has decided which type of manner their card is, they place it in a pile under the Royal Manners or Monster Manners “poster.”
