It is the holiday season. Time to enjoy time with the family as well as a good meal. This is a perfect time to teach your child about table manners. Good table manners go a long way in life. Read below for great tips on teaching your child table manners.
Lead By Example
Make sure you are practicing what you are preaching to your child about having good table manners. For example, do not chew with your mouth open, if you want your child not to chew with his or her mouth open. Your child will watch your every move and behavior. Do not eat with your hands. Teach your child how to clean after his or herself. The behaviors you teach your child while he or she is young will be held for a lifetime.
Teach Your Child To Take His or Her Time
Make sure your child knows eating is not a contest. Let your child know there is no need to rush through a meal. Eating in a rush is not healthy and it leads to other sloppy behaviors.
Teach Your Child How To Eat Properly
Show your child how to move his or her mouth when eating and drinking. Mouths should be closed while chewing food. Beverages should not be gulped. Make sure your child knows to cover his or her mouth when burping.
Keep It Consistent
Make sure your child learns that being polite correlates with good table manners. Make sure your child says please and thank you when given food or drinks.

Christmas is almost here. It is time for family fun. We have some fun Christmas Party games for you. Read below to learn about fun Christmas Party games!
Christmas Stocking Guessing Game
This game is great for the entire family. All you need are Christmas stockings and holiday items to stuff your stockings. Make each stocking have 10 to 15 items. Tie each stocking with ribbon to make sure no one can see what is inside any of the stockings.
Play in teams by giving team members identical stockings. Let each team guess how many objects are in each stocking. The team that guesses the correct items will win them.
Christmas Word Scramble
Use a poster board, pen and paper. Make a list of words related to the holidays. Scramble up the letters contained in these words on the poster board.
Find Santa
Let the family find a hidden Santa throughout the house. You can use a Santa ornament or create a cut out Santa image. Let one player hide the Santa. When players find the Santa, they cannot say they found it. They must sit near it. This game is not about winning but a fun game to do for a holiday party. This is great for children.

Are you searching for ways to entertain the kids for your Christmas Party? If yes, we are here to help by give you a few festive games you can play with the kids this holiday season.
Candy Cane Pass
Candy Cane Pass is a relay race for the kids. All you need are four candy canes per team. Make sure you have a few extras in case the candy canes break during the game.
A player from each team must hold four candy canes between his or her fingers. A player from each team will pass the candy canes down the line, until all team mates have ran the race with the four candy canes. The candy canes cannot be dropped or the whole team has to restart the game. The first team to have completed the tasks wins.
Santa Says
Santa says is similar to the game Simon Says. One player will be Santa and command the elves (the other players) to do tasks such as “Do 10 jumping jacks”. When Santa says ‘stop’ all players must stop. The players that do not stop are eliminated from the game. Santa Says is a great game for young children.
Word Find
Use Christmas themed words such as Christmas, Poinsettia, and Silent Night to make smaller words until the timer runs out. As the words get more challenging, make the time shorter for players to make smaller words. This will make the game fun and challenging.
