I Can Follow Jesus by Respecting Others

Child making a heart shape with his hands

Jesus respected everyone. I can be kind like Jesus was.

Two children with their arms around each other

I can follow Jesus by not calling people mean names.

Two children playing with toy cars

I can say “please” and “thank you.”

Children sitting together at a table with craft supplies

I can listen and take turns. I want to respect others too!
