May I? Permission and Future Possibilities Worksheet
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 practice using the polite phrase 'May I' to ask for permission and to talk about things they might do in the future, building both grammar skills and an important social convention for respectful communication. Learning to phrase a request politely is a social-emotional skill that supports smoother interactions with teachers, family, and peers well beyond this single worksheet.

How to use this worksheet
Read the first sentence starter aloud together, like 'May I...' and talk about what kind of request or future action could complete it. Have your child think of an appropriate ending and fill in the blank with an action word or phrase. Read the completed sentence aloud together to check that it sounds polite and makes sense. Continue through the remaining sentences the same way, encouraging different ideas for each one.
