Polite Pairings

In this worksheet, students read eight everyday situations and match each one to the polite phrase or tone that best fits the relationship. They must think about whether the person in the scenario is a peer, an adult, or an authority figure, and choose language that is respectful for that role. This activity supports recognition of appropriate tone, manners, and communication strategies. It also strengthens understanding of how context affects word choice. Students build social awareness and respectful speaking habits.
