Pilot Radio Talk
Words I Can Say Out Loud
TALK & SHARE
Helpful Words to Say at School
When Walking Past Someone:
💬 "Excuse me, please!"
This lets your friend know you are walking by.
When Sitting at Lunch:
💬 "Can I sit here with you?"
Always ask before sitting down at the table.
When Someone is Too Close:
💬 "I need a little more space, please."
Polite and keeps your bubble safe.
When You Back Up:
💬 "Oops! Backing up to give you room!"
Friendly and helpful to everyone!
