Free Printable Manners Chart & Activities
Free printable manners chart and activities for kids. Please, thank you, sharing, table manners. Instant PDF download.
Manners are taught by a thousand small interactions, not by a single worksheet — but a visible chart on the wall reminds kids (and honestly, parents) to follow through on the teaching. This printable is that chart, plus a few related activities that make the concept concrete for younger kids who need more than verbal reminders.
The pack includes: a 'good manners' poster listing 8 core behaviours (please, thank you, excuse me, taking turns, listening, no interrupting, sharing, saying sorry), a tick-box chart for tracking manners practice over a week, a colouring sheet with kids demonstrating good manners in different situations, and a matching activity for toddlers where they match the situation to the right response.
Stick the poster somewhere visible during meals (good manners most often go wrong at the table). Use the tracking chart as a gentle positive-reinforcement tool. The colouring and matching activities are good for rainy afternoons when you want to reinforce the concepts without a lecture. Everything free, classroom-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is the manners chart for?+
Ages 3 to 8. The tracker and chart are useful across that range; the matching activity is better for ages 3 to 5 specifically.
Should I teach manners with a chart or just model them?+
Both. Modelling is the base layer — kids pick up manners from the adults around them. The chart adds explicit vocabulary and a reminder system. Neither alone is enough.
Can teachers use this?+
Yes — it's free for any classroom use. Kindergarten and Grade 1 teachers often incorporate manners charts into their circle-time routines.
Is there a reward system?+
The tracking chart uses ticks or stickers as positive reinforcement. Whether you add a weekly reward on top is up to you — some families do, some don't.
