Time for Lunch, Time for Lunch,
Let’s get ready, Let’s get ready.

Oh, Before I Eat My Meals 

Original Author: Unknown

Sung to: “If Your Happy and You Know It”

(This song uses pantomime actions!)
Oh, before I eat my meals I wash my hands (scrub, scrub)
Oh, before I eat my meals I wash my hands (scrub, scrub)
Oh, it’s very smart I think,
Sending those germs right down the sink,
Oh, before I eat my meals I wash my hands (scrub, scrub).
Oh, before I eat my meals I set my place (set, set)
Oh, before I eat my meals I set my place (set, set)
I set everything I need,
I feel very proud indeed,
Oh, before I eat my meals I set my place (set, set).
Oh, before I eat my meals I pass the food (pass the plate)
Oh, before I eat my meals I pass the food (pass the plate)
‘Cause we know it’s only fair
For us all to have our share
Oh, before I eat my meals I pass the food (pass the plate).


When We Eat Together 

Original Author: Unknown

Sung to: “Here We Go Around the Mulberry Bush”)
(Pantomime the actions)

This is the way we pass the plate,
Pass the plate, pass the plate,
This is the way we pass the plate,
When we eat together.

And this is the way we use our fork,
Use our fork, use our fork,
This is the way we use our fork,
When we eat together.

And this is the way we pour our juice (or milk)
Pour our juice, pour our juice
This is the way we pour our juice,
When we eat together.

This is the way we clear our plate,
Clear our plate, clear our plate,
This is the way we clear our plate,
When we eat together.
(You can make up or add your own verses, or have children make them up!)


Using your hands

Look at the bottom
Look at the top
If their not clean we’ll have to stop
Go to the sink and wash them again
And when they are clean we may began


Ready For Lunch

Original Author: Unknown

Open them shut them, Open them shut them
Give a little clap
Open them shut them, Open them shut them
Fold them in your laps
Now we sit up straight and tall
Ready for lunch one and all.
