Discuss and demonstrate the proper way to set a table. Break the class into teams of four or five. Line children up on one side of the room. Place all pieces of a plastic place setting in a sack on a table on one side of the room. (Provide one place setting for each team). When the class leader says "go", the first child on each team races to the table, removes the place setting from the sack and correctly arranges the items on the table. Once the place setting is approved by a class leader, the child puts the dishes in the bag and races back to tag the next teammate. The race continues until all teammates have successfully set the table.
