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!
