Polite Words Worksheet: Matching and Application

How to use this worksheet

Look at each picture together and talk about what is happening in the scene. Read the question or sentence aloud, then have your child find the matching polite word in the word box. Ask them to write the chosen word in the blank space, and encourage them to say the word aloud as they write it.

Materials needed

• Pencil
• Eraser

Extension activities

• •Role-play everyday scenarios, like asking for a snack or bumping into someone, and practice the right polite word for each.
• •Create a poster together listing each polite word with a simple picture showing when to use it.
• •Read a picture book about manners and pause to ask which polite word a character should use.
• •Set up a pretend shop where your child practices saying please and thank you while 'buying' items.
• •Keep a 'kindness jar' and add a token each time your child uses a polite word during the day.

Tips for parents and teachers

Encourage children to use these words naturally throughout the day, not just on the worksheet, so the habit becomes automatic. Watch for confusion between similar words, like sorry versus excuse me, since the situations calling for each can be subtle. Praise genuine use of polite words in daily life more than the worksheet answers themselves.
