I need an idea for what I can do to teach a group of 40 kids (K-3rd grade) about manners. What is a humorous and fun way to do this? Any skit ideas?

i work with 3 yr olds, and i usually use practical examples. ex: during lunch, make up songs on how to ask for juice or food.
i also bought this cute book called please say please (pre-k level), and i make the kids act out what they do wrong, and then i (the book) asks if its wrong to do that (the kids yell out yeeeesss), and then we act out the right way of saying or doing it. another thing you can do is use positive reinforcement. put a board up and write points or stick stickers for every action made with proper manners (identify 5-6 manners u want to work on). i use verbal feedback by easedropping in convos between kids and just shouting out, "great asking" or "wow i love the way you used your napkin", and announcing to the parents (in front of the child) what he did. u couldnt believe how there face lights up when they notice u noticed...just make sure it's age appropriate.
one book i found for age 4-6 is "Manners can be fun" by munro leaf...check ur local or any online bookstore for children's books

hi,
me a teacher also,the first thing is that what you want to impart let it to pracice by yourself.alwyas u do and present the manner of what you want to child in humorous ways and in fum way.but fun and humourous is different from manner.vcause an exellent manner needs soberity.otherhand always follow what u want to present in speech.if there would be any duality you will loos credibility.

Bad behavior has to have consequences. If the children are being taught that there are no consequences then you as a teacher can do little but if the parents support you then you can change the behavior by having consequences as there would be in the real world and here after.

Show them a video, or picture of people eating with their hands...
and I don't remember what I was ganna say...
To the post below mine: Are you sure you are a teacher? Are you a foreign language teacher? Or your native language is not english? Because that is terrible spelling and grammer.
