Activities for growing social skills
This set uses simple scenes, matching tasks, sorting, tracing, drawing and short responses to make respect easy to talk about. Younger children can identify kind and unkind actions, match pictures and practise polite choices. Older children can explain why an action is respectful, think about another person's feelings and write or draw a better response. The examples include listening when someone speaks, caring for shared things, respecting personal space and accepting differences. Each activity can stand alone, so you can choose a page that suits your child's age and attention span.
Use the worksheets in daily routines
At home, complete one activity after a real situation such as interrupting a sibling, leaving toys out or waiting for a turn. Ask your child what happened, then let them point to or draw a respectful choice. In class, use a worksheet during circle time, before group work or as a quiet follow-up to a story. Pair children to act out two possible responses, then let them finish the related task. You can connect these pages with Good Manners Worksheets or Teamwork Activities.
Help children understand what respect means
Children may think respect means always agreeing with adults or staying quiet. Explain that respectful behaviour includes listening, speaking kindly and saying when something feels uncomfortable. They may also forget that shared materials, animals and other people's work deserve care. Give one clear example at a time, such as asking before taking a toy or waiting until a friend has finished speaking. Praise the action rather than using a broad label, and gently repeat the words your child can use, such as, "May I have a turn?" or "Please stop."

Lumi's tips
- For a younger child, read the situation aloud and offer two choices before asking them to mark the respectful action.
- For an older child, ask them to explain how each person might feel and write a sentence that could solve the problem.
- Link the page to real life by giving your child one small respect job, such as returning shared books or listening without interrupting.
