Pass The Piggy

Are your kids "pigging-out" at the dinner table?

Hungry for table manners in your home?

Then chew on mealtime manners with…

Pass the Piggy! . . . Oink, Oink!

If you want to nibble on this one, all you have to do is click on the pig above for a print-ready version. After you have printed and cut out the pig, simply glue it to a popsicle stick or unsharpened pencil.

Now, you're ready. If someone uses bad manners -- doesn't have a napkin in their lap, chews with their mouth open, talks with their mouth full, has their elbows on the table, holds their utensils incorrectly, slouches over to eat, gets up without being excused, burps, complains about the meal -- then anyone can "squeal" on them.

The person with bad table manners then has to say "Oink, Oink" and the piggy is passed to them. The piggy is continually passed around to whoever gets squealed on during the meal. Whoever has the pig at the end of the meal does the dishes!

Anyone can be an oinker! -- Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, guest. But dads are usually the real hogs!

So, gnaw on this thing at each meal and maybe some of those porkers will mind their mealtime manners!
