Behaviour Matters: Cheetah Learns to Play Nicely - A book about being a good sport
Sue Graves, Trevor Dunton
This funny, charming story is the perfect way to introduce young children to what fair play is, and help them understand the importance of being a good sport. Also included are suggestions for activities and ideas to talk through together to help children fully understand how their behaviour can impact on others. Cheetah always wants to win - no matter what it takes. But when his friends no longer want to play with him, he decides to look at his behaviour and start playing more nicely. The Behaviour Matters series of picture books provide a gentle means of discussing emotions, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good behaviour. Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also suitable for use with children in KS1 and can be used to discuss values. Suitable for children under 5.

We must be nice to others, they won’t play if we don’t.

Easy read for a learner

I like cheetah because he learnt that not winning was important. I would recommend this book to anyone who has to learn to accept the defeat in a game and that every time we loose is another step to success.

I like this book I recommend this book as it show how cheetah had to learn how to play nicely and to be a good sport. And change from wanting to win everything and being a bad sport. It’s a great story that can help show how to do this and show it’s fun to play nicely.

I liked Cheetah the best because he wasn't a good sport! The book was funny. Cheetah's behaviour was bad, but he learned to be a good sport.

I thought this book was very good because Cheetah was a bad sport but learnt how to be a good sport. My favourite character was Cheetah because he helped Monkey out of the swamp. I would recommend this book to children who aren't a good sport yet because it teaches them be a good sport.

It was good. I liked that he became a nice friend to his other friends because he learnt to be nice. I think my class would like it.

The book was really good. I liked the giraffe best. I learned that I need to help my friends. I would tell my friends to read it.

Cheetah was being really angry at the start but after all the games his friends helped him to understand that it is not okay. Cheetah was my favourite in the end as he was friendly.
