Children’s Good Manners Program Sweeping the Nation
Schools, scout troops and after-school programs across the nation are gearing up for a positive year by using a creative good manners program that combines games and crafts with lessons on good manners. Called the Tadpole Dreams Good Manners Program, the activities are perfect for boys and girls in elementary and middle school.
(PRWEB) August 17, 2005 -- The popular Tadpole Dreams Good Manner's program
combines a friendly, lighthearted 48-page good manners handbook and a curriculum
containing more than 50 games, crafts, and activities designed to accompany each
section. Each can be purchased separately or the program in its entirety online
at www.tadpoledreams.org.
The curriculum and handbook
include detailed lesson plans and games designed to reinforce interview skills,
telephone manners, and cell phone and e-mail etiquette. They offer instruction
regarding thank-you notes, proper introductions, table manners, host and guest
skills, polite conversation, how to behave in the classroom, and cafeteria and
school assemblies.
“We have private schools, public schools, recreation
programs and camps from coast to coast using our program. They tell us it’s fun
and easy and the kids have a great time,” said program Vice President Denise
Rosson. “We’ve been featured in newspapers and on television shows because of
our unique vision on how to teach and reinforce the concept of good manners in
fast food kind of world.”
“We reviewed the program last summer and
thought it had merit,” said Maureen Moran, Branch Chief of the office of
Academic Policy for the Maryland State Department of Education. “Tadpole Dreams
is a great resource for teachers, guidance counselors and other youth leaders.”
Written and taught by professional middle school educators, the Tadpole
Dreams Good Manners Program has been used successfully in every socio-economic
environment from city housing projects to elite summer camps.
