I like playing games at school!
We play games in gym or outside at recess.
We sometime play games in our classroom to learn.
I like when I can play games with my friends.
When we play together, usually someone has to win and someone
has to lose.
When I lose I feel frustrated, sad or mad because I wanted to win.
It is okay to feel this way:
when I lose, but I need to remember… Playing games with
my friends should be fun!
If I lose, I can think of a compliment to say to my friend who won:
I am frustra
ted because I
lost, but you played a
great game!
I am sad because I really wanted to win,
but you are really good player.
Good job, maybe I can
win next time!
Way to go!
Awesome game!
Congratulations
Can we play
again?I am mad, but maybe
you can show me how
you won.
If, I win I feel excited, happy, & because I like to win.
But I need to remember, my friend lost!
It is okay to feel: My friend lost and might feel:
I should not brag and boast because I won.
ExcitedEmocionado
But I need to remember:
If I win, I can think of a compliment to say to my friend who lost:
You played a great game, it was fun !.
Boy that was a
tough game, would
you like to play again?
Good game it was
fun to play
together!
Good Job! Way to go!
That was a hard game! Thanks for playing
with me!Good game!
When I play a game, some times I win and some times I lose.
I need to remember playing games with my friends is fun and I can
win or lose.
But, if I use compliments about how my friend
played when I win or lose, my friends will want to
play with me again!
