Set the Table, Please

Before eating, grab a napkin, cup, plate, and silverware. Where should each item be placed? Use this placemat as a guide, or make up your own. Use spatial words to give directions like:

• the fork goes on the left side of the plate
• the napkin goes under the fork
• the knife goes to the right of the plate
• the spoon goes to the right of the knife
• the cup goes next to the plate and above the knife

For more fun, create your own placemats for where to place veggies, protein, etc. on your plate!

Note: Learning left and right takes repetition and practice, usually over several years! Take your time and have fun together!
