FREE Printable to help teach hospitality to your kids. We place it on our refrigerator

I created this FREE simple Hospitality printable to place on our refrigerator. We take about 5 minutes to review the principles before our guests arrive. There is no better way than to put these habits to work than inviting a few friends over. So get busy and teach your kiddos the art of hospitality.

Another resource that I can’t say enough positive things about is this little pink book. It’s truly a gem filled with 365 short lessons on manners. We just read and discuss the etiquette during meal times. It takes less than 5 minutes per day. My children have a lot fun when we review We Choose Virtues each morning.
