Imagine teaching table manners without nagging and prodding. It can be done. With this humorous but respectful deck of cards, kids, teens and adults compete for Ready-to-Dine-Out awards by exchanging thumbs-up or thumbs-down cards based on manners being used while eating. The cards depict 14 different table manners. In addition, there are four each of blank thumbs-up/down cards that can be used to address manners not found in the deck or to customize the game for age, culture or family rules. Children lean an important social skill, build self-esteem and enjoy improved parent/child relations during meals. The cards can be used for any number of people in a variety of situations; one child at home, friends on a play date or a sit down family dinner. The cards are small enough to be practical at the table or on the go. The deck includes a special “Note to Parents” card providing useful suggestions for maximizing the game’s success. Cards are made from 100% recycled material, then laminated for durability. They are housed in a drawstring bag made from 100% unbleached pre-shrunk, washable cotton. Players can find free downloadable sticker charts and coloring pages on the company website.
