Manners Maketh Fun with ‘Nice Bear Naughty
Bear’ the Good Manners Card Game
Nice Bear, Naughty Bear is a new card game which aims to
teach manners in a fun way to children as young as possible
and complements the new initiative to teach health,
happiness and self-improvement in Primary schools. Each
pack contains a suite of Good Bears and Bad Bears and
includes a couple of jokers. Delightfully illustrated, every card
carries a catchy rhyme which children will quickly learn by
heart. ‘If you are a helpful bear, you’ll be welcome
anywhere’. Created to help young children learn good
manners and social skills, they are a fun and inexpensive way
for parents and teachers to encourage role-play and
discussion on all sorts of topics from table manners to
bullying. One mother is using the cards as an incentive:
“After a bout of challenging behaviour I decided to award
bear cards according to my 4 year old son’s actions. The threat of receiving a ‘naughty’ bear card was enough to
change his manners. The challenge was to win all the nice bear cards by the end of the week for a reward. For
every naughty bear he lost a nice bear. What an incentive for a competitive child! By the end of the week our
naughty and exhausting child had become an exceedingly nice bear!”
