Seller's description

Help little learners make room for each other's turn with quick, playful activities built around two simple steps: STOP and LISTEN.

This printable classroom kit brings Mouth and Eye, from the picture book The Mouth Who Learned to Listen by The Manners Crew, into circle time. Mouth loves to talk. Eye wants a turn too. Children practice two little steps with posters, games and picture cards, then connect the story to everyday moments when they play and talk together.

PERFECT FOR
Ages 3 to 6. Preschool, Pre-K, kindergarten, homeschool and home. Whole class or small groups. Activities take 5 to 10 minutes.

WHAT'S INCLUDED (one 19-page resource in 4 print editions)
• Quick start: a 5 to 10 minute circle time activity
• Two ways to use the kit: with the book, or with a short no-book retelling, plus an optional week of circle time
• Educator notes on helping every child take part, plus a print guide
• Two Little Steps poster, STOP poster and LISTEN poster
• Cue cards: STOP, LISTEN, MY TURN, YOUR TURN, PASS, HELP
• The Talking Ball game, with ways every child can take a turn
• Read-aloud questions (for use with the book)
• Six story sequencing cards (for use with the book)
• Four picture situation cards that link the story to real life
• Five everyday turn-taking moments to act out
• Song page with QR code and link to The Manners Crew theme song
• Coloring page, drawing page, certificates and family take-home notes
• A text and teaching guide in accessible text, and a READ ME guide

THE TWO LITTLE STEPS
1. STOP! Close your lips. Give your voice a rest.
2. LISTEN! Use your ears. Hear what your friend has to say.
Children can show the steps by talking, gesturing, pointing, signing, using a communication device or with adult support. Listening does not have to mean silence, stillness or eye contact.
