🍎 Happy Table Manners

Mealtime is a fun time! We sit, we eat, and we smile. Let’s learn how to be kind at the table.

1. Sit And Wait

• Sit down Nice And Neat.
• Wait for a “Ding‑ding” (the bell) or for everyone to be ready.
• Count together: 1, 2, 3 – three little friends ready to eat!

2. Use Your Words

• Say “Please” before you take food.
• Say “Thank You” after you get food.
• Repeat: Please, Please, Please – Thank You, Thank You.
• A happy face 😊 shows you’re polite.

3. Gentle Hands And Sounds

• Put the fork Softly on the plate.
• No loud “Crunch‑crunch” or “Slurp‑slurp” inside the house.
• Soft Clink Clink when the spoon touches the bowl.
• Keep elbows Off The Table – they belong on the chair.

Simple Activity – “manner Match”

1. Print or draw three pictures: a fork, a spoon, and a napkin.
2. Say the word “Please” and point to the picture.
3. Say the word “Thank You” and give a gentle hug to the picture.
4. Count the pictures: 1, 2, 3 – you did it!

You are a table‑manner star! Keep practicing, keep smiling, and explore new foods with kind words and gentle hands. 🌟
