Mini Lesson
Sometimes a friend or family member comes to visit. A visitor is a guest in your home. You can help them feel happy and welcome. But first, a grown-up always answers the door.
🏠 The Life Skills Way (step by step)
- WAIT: a grown-up opens the door. You stay with your grown-up.
- GREET: smile, look at the visitor, and say hello.
- SAY YOUR NAME: "Hi, I am Sam. Nice to see you!"
- OFFER: show them a seat. With a grown-up, offer a glass of water.
- SAY GOODBYE: walk them to the door with your grown-up and say "Thank you for coming!"
🧸 Play Nicely Together
- SHARE: let a young visitor play with your toys too.
- TAKE TURNS: you pick a game, then they pick a game.
Never open the door on your own, even if you know the person. A grown-up always answers the door. If someone knocks or rings, go and tell a grown-up.
