Teaching Manners Activity

$2.00

Use this activity to help young kids learn how to use their manners. Kids will feel more comfortable at their family’s Thanksgiving Feast if they have been given the opportunity to practice skills like saying “please” and “thank you”, how to ask someone to pass food, how to politely decline Grandma’s lumpy mashed potatoes without making you blush.

Includes:

  • Instructions
  • 8 thanksgiving-themed food images you can out and glue onto paper plates. (Paper plates not included.)

  • Have kids take turns asking a friend to “please pass the ______”.
  • Introduce ways to respond when someone offers you something you don’t like as well as reminding the kids to say “please” and “thank you”.
