yes-please-no-thank-you-manners-game

*I have partnered with Jimmy Patterson Books for this sponsored post!*

I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. Read my full disclosure policy here.

We are in Georgia visiting my parents!  Also it’s in the 40’s and my hair is as flat as a pancake!

I am basically in heaven.

My mom and I ran out to the grocery store last night for some last-minute Thanksgiving items.  While we were there, I couldn’t help but notice how all of the employees of this very-Southern establishment addressed me with, “Yes, ma’am,” and, “No, ma’am,” and they looked me in the eyes and there was politeness all over the place.

It got me to thinking how my South Florida boys sometimes need 14 reminders to say please and thank you and that is just not okay with me.

So when Jimmy Patterson Books asked me to review a new book by James Patterson and Bill O’Reilly titled Give Please A Chance, I knew my boys had to read it!give-please-a-chancegive-please-a-chance-2give-please-a-chance-4give-please-a-chance-3

Each page in this amazing book features different scenes and situations where kids say please – from finding an adorable stray dog to needing a hug to finding a friend for a seesaw ride.  Give Please a Chance helps children see the power in this very magic word!
gpac_bath gpac_dog

With two beloved authors and 17 different illustrators, your kids will find Give Please a Chance delightfully inspiring in the politeness direction!

With the holidays being here, I know that there will be lots of opportunities for my boys to practice their manners.  Meeting new faces at Christmas parties, responding courteously to family members, and <<here’s a biggie for my picky eaters>> politely receiving or declining holiday meal offerings.

After we read Give Please a Chance, I thought it would be fun for us to play a game to help us put our new understanding of the word please to work AND help us get ready for our Thanksgiving feast at Mom-Mom’s!

Here’s how to play the Thanksgiving/Holiday Meal Manners Game…

yes-please-no-thank-you-game-1First, print out the FREE Printable Holiday Meal Food Cards at the bottom of this post.

yes-please-no-thank-you-game-2Cut the cards out and tape or glue them to some paper plates.

Next have everyone in the family gather to play!

yes-please-no-thank-you-game-3Pass a plate with a food on it to someone and say, “Would you like some ((turkey))?”

yes-please-no-thank-you-game-4Then that person must say either, “Yes, please,” or “No, thank you.”

After that person responds, they take the plate and pass it to the next person and say, “Would YOU like some ((turkey))?”

That person must answer by saying, “Yes, please,” or “No, thank you.”

And so on!

It’s that simple!  Repetition and practice is the name of the game here!

If Mr. B. is involved, then things might get a little silly because he will eat basically anything you put in front of him.
yes-please-no-thank-you-game-5yes-please-no-thank-you-game-6yes-please-no-thank-you-game-7yes-please-no-thank-you-game-8yes-please-no-thank-you-game-9yes-please-no-thank-you-game-10yes-please-no-thank-you-game-11

Mr. B. loved our hypothetical Thanksgiving table.

And I appreciated his enthusiasm for the vegetables. #rolemodeling

But he tried to steal Jethro’s plate and he drank straight out of the gravy boat.

Which actually isn’t very good manners. 🙂

By the end of our game, Mr. B. was pretty stuffed from saying “Yes, please” to everything.yes-please-no-thank-you-game-12

I bet you that Mr. B. will look just like he does in the photo above come 8 pm Thanksgiving night.

🙂

We had a lot of fun practicing our manners!  We’ll see how my boys do at the real feast tomorrow!

    I’d love to win this book! I was born and raised up north so the “yes ma’am”, “no ma’am” (or sir) doesn’t come naturally for me. Now that I’m
    Raising my own children here in Georgia, I am trying to instill some Southern Hospitality in them! This book sounds like a perfect way to reiterate what I’m working on at home (in public, etc.). Thanks for a chance to win!

    I love your activity! Working as an SLP in an elementary school, much of the time it is assumed that our students know how to respond when an undesirable item is placed in front of them. This is not always the case! Often, a child needs those scripts to practice over and over. I am excited to here about this new book. It sounds perfect for the elementary crowd!

    I love the manners game and book! I lead a parent/toddler group at our church; we ‘practice” behaviors such as being happy for one another, being kind, sharing. This will be a wonderful tool to share with parents on how to practice manners. With Advent approaching, this will be another fun way to prepare for the holidays (and hopefully help parents be less stressed about their child’s behavior). Thank you for sharing your gifts! It’s amazing to think of how many lives are touched & influenced by what you share!

    My youngest was a late talker but when he began, at almost 2yr, he was saying please and thank you to EVERYTHING – including at his annual appt when the nurse asked if she could draw blood from his big toe. “Yes, please” and “Thank you” when she finished! Not a tear shed. I wish I could say that level of manners (and fearlessness) has continued ;-/ We definitely need this book now!!

    When my kids were younger I always fixed their plates. After a couple instances of them sitting down, looking at their plates and then grumbling, “yuck,” we made the rule that :
    * if you say yuck, you have to eat everything on your plate
    * if you try everything (at least two bites), you could politely say, “I don’t care for this,” and then you wouldn’t have to eat it the rest.
    The goal was to make them appreciate what they had, and eat at other people’s homes while being polite. I knew we had accomplished this when they ate at someone’s home who fed them chili. My kids hated beans. When I asked them what they did, they said they ate the first bowl, and said ‘no thank you’ to the second bowl!

    I would love this for my kids, one of whom seems to have forgotten the “magic word.” As kids, we were raised that there are certain people who deserve your outright respect — the pastor being one of them. So our pastor was a big goofball when not at the pulpit. Our church was doing some renovating, and my dad had taken us to the church to help out. My younger brother was standing near the stage when the pastor walked near him and let one rip! My brother, being a 9 year old boy who thinks farts are hilarious, was trying so hard not to laugh, when the pastor blamed it on him. My dad then walked by and said “Kristopher, did you fart in church?” My very confused brother’s [very polite] response was “well I didn’t think I did, but a pastor wouldn’t lie.”

    This looks like a GREAT addition to our easy readers – as well as reinforcing something we take seriously around here, y’all – good manners! Sometimes I feel our kids are in the minority of folks that say “yes, ma’am” and “no, sir” – and we always want to work on more “yes, please”s and “no thank you”s! I’m thankful for this modern children’s book that focuses on what some think are “old fashioned” manners 🙂 ! Thanks for running a great give-away! Good luck, everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!

    I have a 3 1/2 year old grandson who LOVES to have grandma read to him! He is doing a good job of saying ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you’ but this would be another good way to reinforce that language. I also would like to use the game at school when I sub. We would use the little cards and ‘read’ the rhythms using our ‘rhythm language’ while we are playing the game. Thank you so much for including the cards! I appreciate it!

    I have 3 boys and the manner that has really stuck has been when opening gifts. After opening any gift they say, “thank you, I love it!” I was giving them examples of gratitude statements prior to a birthday and that isn’t what stuck. So now at Christmas it is what everyone/extended family says.😂😂 hope thanksgiving was a good one!
