Procedures

1. When the food is cooked, menus printed, and the restaurant set up, have children get ready to "eat out". Have an extra supply of dress-up clothes in the playhouse for children to wear. Fancy clothes help children get into their "adult" roles and establish a special mood for the event. Remind children to bring money to pay for their dinner. Teacher should make sure each child has 8-10 coins.

2. Children enter the restaurant and are taken to tables by a waiter or waitress. Teachers staff the restaurant, at least the first time through. Each child is seated at a table and given a menu. Waiters and waitresses help each patron record his/her name and order. The menu is returned with the order and serves as the bill. Patrons may place second orders as long as they have enough money.

3. When finished eating, patrons take their bill to the cashier and pay for their meals.
