Etiquette: Dining with the Stars

About this event

Manners Matter Good manners help kids shine. Simple things – like saying “please” or waiting their turn -can lead to big rewards. These small habits build confidence, respect, and kindness. They also help children connect with others and feel more comfortable in social settings. In this class, children ages 5 to 8 will learn the basics of everyday manners. The lessons are fun, hands-on, and easy to understand. Through gentle practice and simple routines, kids will build skills they can use at home, school, or anywhere they go. Good manners start with respect – for yourself and for others. When children practice polite behavior, they show they care. They learn to be thoughtful guests, kind friends, and helpful family members. This class covers key habits that make mealtimes smoother and conversations easier. Step by step, students will learn how to behave politely in group settings and around the table. Topics include: Setting the table for a two-course meal using real plates, cutlery, and glasses Practicing how to use silverware correctly Taking turns and being patient while others speak Sitting tall with good posture and keeping elbows off the table Listening carefully and making eye contact when someone is talking Starting and joining polite conversations during meals Each skill is taught in a way that’s age-appropriate and fun. Children will practice with their classmates and build habits they can use every day. By the end of class, your child will feel more confident and capable in social situations. They’ll understand why manners matter – and how to use them to show kindness and respect. Give your child a strong start with the lifelong gift of good etiquette. It’s a small investment that brings big results.
