Body Manners
Nose Picking
No! If you must, you can do it privately in the bathroom with a tissue.
Gotta Go? How to excuse yourself politely
"excuse me, I'll be right back or "may I please use your restroom?"
Sneezes and coughs
Grab a tissue if you can or use the crook of your arm to cover your sneeze.
Yawns
If you can't stop a yawn, place your hand over your mouth as you breathe in and out. Make sure to say "excuse me" if you yawn while someone is talking to you.
Toilet Paper Etiquette
Why it matters
Covering your coughs and sneezes the right way shows good manners because you are being considerate of the health of others.
Chewing gum
With your mouth closed! Wrap it in a tissue or wrapper before putting it in the trash. No spitting it right into the trash.
Quietly let an adult know so they can fix it. Accidents happen and it would be rude to leave your mess for the next person who needs to go.
Protecting others
Don't go to class or your friend's house if you think you may be sick. You especially don't want to be sick around babies, elderly people, or anyone with a compromised immune system.
Burps
If you can't stop a burp, place a hand over your mouth and say "excuse me" afterward. Don't draw attention to it or anyone else's burps.
Boy Etiquette
Put the seat up to go and always BACK DOWN when you're done!
When others sneeze
You can say "bless you". Do you know any other sneeze responses?
Check your habits
No!
Hand Hygiene
Nose blowing etiquette
Excuse yourself to blow your nose in the restroom with with a tissue by a trash can. Keep it discreet if you are in a room full of people (no loud trumpet blowing!) Wash your hands or use sanitizer if you are able.
