The spoon is a special tool we use to eat soup or cereal. We put it on the right side of the plate.
The fork is another tool we use to pick up food like pasta or salad. We put it on the left side of the plate.
The knife is used for cutting food. It has a handle and a sharp edge, so be careful! We put it on the right side of the plate, next to the spoon.
The napkin is made of cloth or paper. We use it to wipe our mouth and clean our hands. It goes on the right side of the spoon.
A mug is used for drinking hot drinks like milk or tea. It’s like a cup but bigger!
The pitcher is a big container with a handle. We use it to pour drinks like water or lemonade.
The tray is a flat container we use to carry all the utensils and dishes to the table.

Table Setting Practice: At home, ask an adult to help you gather all the items you learned about: a tablecloth, plate, glass, spoon, fork, knife, napkin, mug, pitcher, tray, and bread plate. Practice setting the table just like you learned. Can you remember where each item goes? Try setting the table for your family and see if they notice how nicely you did it!
Table Setting Art: Draw a picture of a table set for a meal. Use crayons or colored pencils to color each item. Label each item with its name: tablecloth, plate, glass, spoon, fork, knife, napkin, mug, pitcher, tray, and bread plate. Show your drawing to a friend or family member and explain where each item goes and what it is used for.
Observation Game: Next time you have a meal at home or in a restaurant, look at how the table is set. Can you find all the items you learned about? Are they in the same place as you learned? Tell someone what you notice and see if you can help set the table next time!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
