A Table Set Just Right
Before Dinner

The game's question
Follow your hands: read the story aloud and let the gesture answer.
Growing up, you learned to set the table before dinner. The tablecloth smoothed flat with your palm, the plate in the middle, the glass up and to the right, the napkin folded just so. Your hands have done it a thousand times. On which side of the plate did the fork go?
- On the left
- On the right
Need a hint?
Act it out: set the knife down first, the way you did at home—then the fork finds its own place. Who at your house made sure everything was in its place?
See the answer
Answer: On the left—the knife and spoon go on the right.
Why this game : A gesture learned as a child lives in the hands—and it brings back stories about the family table.
