I Am Going to A Restaurant!

I Am Going to A Restaurant!

I am going to a restaurant to eat with my family. When we get inside, we might have to wait to be seated.

I can hold a favorite object or do an activity while I wait (bring a couple of choices from home). If I need to use the bathroom there will be one in the restaurant. I can ask my parents or restaurant workers where the bathroom is located. When it is our turn to be seated, we will follow the host to our table.

I will sit down in my seat. When the waitress asks me, I will tell her what I want to drink.

Circle the kinds of drinks you like to get or draw your favorite drink? Water Milk Soda Other Next, my family and I will look at the menu to decide what we want to eat while the waitress gets the drinks.

Some of my favorite foods are (circle or draw a picture of your favorite foods): Hamburgers Chicken Macaroni & Cheese Other
