Talking Points
- Importance of Good Manners: "Just like how Pokémon trainers show respect to their Pokémon, we should also show respect to others through good manners."
- Saying Please and Thank You: "In the Pokémon world, trainers often say 'please' when asking their Pokémon to perform a move. Let's practice using 'please' and 'thank you' in our interactions too."
- Sharing and Helping Others: "Pokémon trainers help each other during battles and share knowledge. We can also help others and share what we have to be kind and considerate."
