Etiquette Flash Cards
Submitted by Amy Leavitt
|
1. When you receive an invitation to a party that
includes the letters “RSVP”, you should always call to say if you
will or will not be attending.
|
|
2. Your
friend calls on the telephone to invite you to a party. You have
other plans and don’t really want to go anyway. Don’t hurt her
feelings. Just tell her “maybe” and then afterwards you can make up
some excuse.
|
|
3. Your mom says that a
neighbor you often baby-sit for has left a message for you to call
her. You have too much homework this weekend to do any babysitting,
so you don’t need to return her call.
|
|
4. Your Uncle mailed you a
baseball mitt for your birthday. He’s your favorite uncle and will
know you appreciate it, so you don’t have to make a big deal about
it and write a thank-you note. Besides, you can just tell him thanks
when you see him next month.
|
|
5. As you walk down the
sidewalk you pass a person in a wheelchair. It is most polite to
just look the other way and to pretend you don’t notice the person
or his handicap.
|
|
6. These days no one
expects you to give up your seat on the bus or the subway to an
older person or a woman carrying a child.
|
|
7. Before you leave a party
you need to seek out the host or hostess to express your
appreciation for the party, even if you think the host might be busy
with other guests.
|
|
8. Introductions are not
necessary. You can just let people tell the others in the crowd
their own names.
|
|
9. It is all right to call
your parents’ friends by their first names if you’ve known them for
a long time.
|
|
10. It’s usually best for
young people to stand when grandparents or other older people enter
the room as a sign of respect. Young people should stand up when
being introduced to older people.
|
|
11. When someone gives you
a compliment on your new clothes, just ignore it or make fun of it.
It looks vain to take a compliment too seriously.
|
|
12. Accidents happen to
everyone, but a polite person apologizes for bumps, spills and
mishaps to friends, family, and even to strangers.
|
|
13. It’s ok to leave
during a lesson as long as it’s only for a bathroom break or a
drink.
|
|
14. Youth need to address
adults as “Brother” or “Sister” so and so unless you know the adult
well, then you can use their first name.
|
|
15. It’s alright to talk
out loud and visit friends right before sacrament meeting during the
prelude music.
|
|
17. You shouldn’t run and
be loud in the Church besides the gym, even on activity nights.
|
|
18. You should always wear
Sunday dress when you have a scheduled interview with the Bishop.
|
|
19. No
visits, phone calls, or meetings should be made on Monday nights.
|
|
20. Those
who need to enter or leave sacrament meeting should try to wait for
a break in the program before doing so.

the President of an organization in the church as “President so and
so”.

not leave sacrament before the closing prayer, unless it’s an
emergency.

"Thee", and "Thine" in prayers is expected of adults only.
|
|
24. The
advisor of your young men and young women class conducts the Sunday
class instruction.
|
|
25. Be sure
to wear “Sunday best” to sacrament meeting and to the temple.
|
|
26. The
Bishopric sits on the stand so that they can make sure the members
are behaving appropriately.
|
|
27.
You may ask for a calling if you feel inspired that that’s what you
need to do.
