Politeness In Streets

Category: GAMES FOR THE SCHOOLROOM





The streets (p. 26) of Game No. 12 may be utilised for this game. The
children should have on their hats and caps, and walk along the streets.
The game is intended to teach them how to behave when walking; they
should keep to the right, not speak loudly, and the boys should raise
their caps when they meet anyone who acknowledges them.

When the game is fairly started, the two verses which follow may be
repeated by all the children:

Keep always to the right
When in the street you walk,
And please remember this--
Do not too loudly talk.

We must not stare at folks,
Or turn to look behind;
Be kind, but never rude--
A good rule you will find.

A little girl who is walking drops her handkerchief; then, after going
a few yards further, stops and says:

Where is my handkerchief? oh dear!
I must have dropped it somewhere near.

A boy who has picked it up advances and offers it to the lady, at the
same time raising his cap, and the lady says 'Thank you.' The game may
be continued at the teacher's discretion, and the verses again repeated.
