CEPS KIDS ARE FRIENDLY KIDS

This term we are working on RESPECT 

and next week we are looking at

Being a Good Loser

Losing can make you feel bad, but staying friends is more important than giving in to your grumpy feelings.

It is so important to be a good loser, because no one likes to play with a bad loser.  Most children do like to win, and losing makes most children feel bad. However, it is really important to control these negative feelings when you lose so that others will want to play with you again. 

Do:

• Accept that you have lost or are losing and put on a ‘good face.’
• Congratulate the winner and smile.
• Comment on what the winner did well.
• Say you enjoyed the game and would like to play again another time.
• Help pack up and put away materials.
• Remember all the times you have won before.
• Say to yourself, “Someone has to lose this time.”

Don’t:

• If you are not doing well, don’t give up or stop trying.
• Don’t use a whingeing grumpy tone.
• Don’t suggest that the winner cheated or had an unfair advantage.
• Don’t say you never want to play with that person again.
• Don’t stomp off in a bad mood.
• Don’t leave the winner to do all of the packing up.
• Don’t think of yourself as a ‘loser’
• Don’t think “I’ll never win again.”  You WILL win again.
