• Divide students into groups of five or six.
• Start out by saying a phrase, and then have
the students think about what polite word
they would say about the phrase said.
• If the student thinks it is “please” they will go
to the sign in that corner of the room, if it is
“thank you” go to that corner, if it is “I’m
sorry”, go to that corner, or if it is “You’re
welcome”, go to that corner of the room.

4. How to Play Continued
• The groups will take turns
walking to the correct sign.
• Play as many rounds as you’d
like, or until you think the
students get the idea.
• Give each group two chances
to respond to the word.
