Teaching Kids Good Table Manners

Prepare fork and knife, fork on the left and knife on the right, and one spoon for dessert and one spoon to eat. Set the table for Jenny and Joelle for dinner, some sushi. Joelle and Jenny, it's time for dinner. We are ready for dinner. Uh-oh. Rule number one, come to the table with hands and face clean. Yes. It's clean now. I'm ready for dinner. Guys always ask to help to get ready for dinner. Can I help you to bring some dishes? Here you are, Joelle. You can put this on the table. Thank you, guys. Let's eat. Oh, I forget. No iPad, no phone, no games during the meal. It's the time for us to share together. Like you can tell me today what you did. Very good, Joelle. Jenny, we should wait for Joelle. Dinner is meant to be enjoyed together. Okay, just a minute. No, first we have to use the napkin. We can put it on our lap or our T-shirt. Like this. Like this? I will do like this. I like sushi. Joelle, you can ask me nicely to pass the food. You don't have to stand on the chair like that. Can you pass me the sushi? Here you are, Joelle. Thank you, Jasper. Joelle, always take a small bite only. Okay. Small bites like this. Yummy. Jenny, do not put your fork and knife like this when you are chewing. Put them down. Okay, Jasper. Very good, Jenny. Do not make noise with open mouth when you are chewing. And Jenny, don't speak when you are chewing. You can only speak when you are done swallowing your food. Okay, just a minute. Jenny, would you like some sushi? Yes, please. Yummy pizza. Jenny, do not yuck another person's yum, okay? It's polite to respect other people's food. If you don't like sushi, then you can just say, No, thank you, Joelle. Can I go to the restroom? Jenny, when you leave me, leave the table. Leave the napkin on the chair and not on the table with all of the food. Okay, Daphne. I finished my food. I don't play now. Joelle, it's better to remain at the table until everyone finished their food. But if you want to leave, you should ask for permission. Can I leave the table, please? Okay, we finished our dinner. Let's help tidy up. Guys, it's time to tidy up. We all have good table manners.
