HOW DO I DEAL WITH WINNING OR LOSING A GAME?
I like playing games, i enjoy them
The goal is to win
Winning is fun, and it can make me feel happy, proud and special
Appropriately, only 1 person or 1 team can be the winner
When I play games there will be times when I win and times when I
lose
WIN
LOSE
Losing is not fun but I can still feel good if I try my best, follow the
rules and accept my losing with courage and good sportsmanship
Courage and good sportsmanship means congratulating the winner,
not blaming or being mad at self or teammates for making
mistakes. I keep my emotions calm.
To stay calm I can take deep breathes
I can request a break from my teacher, coach, or parent by going to
the restroom or getting a drink.
I can still be a winner to myself, friends, teachers and family if I
accept losing with courage.
