The placemat contains various phrases to use around the dinner table, as well as foods, utensils. and the Table song. A QR code directs your smart phone to a webpage, so you can listen to all the phrases, words and song.

There is another placemat that contains a simple prayer to be used at meals. Click on the links below to printout the placemats and listen.
