Rewrite It Kindly

In this worksheet, students practice turning harsh, blunt statements into polite and respectful requests. Each line contains a negative or abrupt phrase related to personal space or boundaries, and students rewrite it using calm, assertive language. The activity teaches learners how to communicate their needs clearly without being rude or hurtful. By rephrasing each statement, students build interpersonal communication skills and develop healthier ways of expressing discomfort or asking for space. This exercise promotes emotional regulation and boundary-setting skills while reinforcing sentence-writing practice. Students learn that tone, word choice, and respect all play a role in resolving conflicts and maintaining positive relationships.
