Good Manners Bingo Game Printable | Social Skills, Kindness SEL

Recognize and name common polite behaviors (sharing, waiting a turn, saying please/thank you) from a spoken or pictured prompt.

Match a called phrase to its corresponding printed square under time pressure, reinforcing vocabulary recall.

Practice turn-taking and rule-following as part of a structured group game.

Print, laminate and cut the calling cards and chips ahead of time so cards are reusable across classes, as the how-to guide suggests.

Let students take turns serving as the caller once they know the routine, which the guide recommends for added practice recognizing the phrases.

Use the game to introduce or review the good-manners vocabulary before or after a broader lesson on classroom expectations, per the guide's suggested uses.

Keep the cut pieces together in a folder or envelope between plays, as the guide's tips section recommends — there are 50 cards plus three sheets of small calling cards to keep track of.

Social-emotional vocabulary recognition — students match spoken or pictured manners phrases (e.g. 'Say excuse me', 'Cover sneeze') to the correct square on their card.

Active listening — students must listen for the caller's phrase and act quickly to identify the matching square before another player completes a pattern.

Turn-taking and game rule-following — students follow the horizontal, vertical and diagonal win conditions explained in the how-to guide.

Peer-led practice — students can serve as the caller themselves, practicing pronouncing and presenting the manners phrases to classmates.
