Table games

Start from shapes and sizes, you have a few table items, ask them to arrange in various orders, e.g., from smallest to biggest, from least round to most round or from least square to most square etc..

1)     knowing the names
2)     differentiate sizes and shapes
3)     arrangement, adding things on, how far they can reach
4)     compare them
5)     slowly telling the correct way of table codes
6)     how to use each eating tool
7)     what spoiler actions can happen if these are not used properly
8)     how well they remember those names when u asking them
9)     why size is important at the meal table
10) last bit u can add idea n stories, like hygiene problem height of chair, dimension of a table

Note:

For kids below 7, go for table games first as they need to master how to eat/drink on a table alone. It also depends on parent and master at home whether they wish to add "table manners/gesture" with the game or after the game to be evaluated during the game. Western tables and Chinese tables are quite different, so teach one at one time.
