How it works
Win kindly and lose kindly. Say good game, and mean it.
Big feelings are okay. A slow breath can help when you lose.
When you win, be happy and be kind to the others too.
Worked examples
Losing kindly
- Bun wins the race, and Kit comes second. His tummy sinks, which is a real feeling.
- He takes a slow breath and walks over to Bun.
- He says, 'Good game, Bun! You ran so fast.'
Winning kindly
- Kit wins the next race, and he feels proud. That is okay.
- Rex came last, and his shoulders slump.
- Kit does not boast. He says, 'Good game, Rex! You kept on running, and I liked that.'
Playing fair
- Everyone plays the same way.
- Changing the rules so you win is not fair.
- Say good game, whether you win or lose.
