Burp
Air in the stomach has to come out, and the body takes care of that part without asking, but what varies is what you do with the sound: home at the table and school in class call for different things. The pictures below show both versions.

About this visual support
Burping itself is not a skill; it happens when the stomach decides. What can be practised is everything around it: covering the mouth, turning the head away and saying excuse me. That part is tricky, because the answer changes with the room. At the family dinner table a burp can turn into a laugh, in class or at a grandparent's house the same sound becomes something else entirely, and that difference is rarely stated out loud.
Visual support makes the invisible rules visible. A couple of pictures showing hand over mouth, excuse me and then carrying on eating give the child a ready-made sequence instead of a correction after the fact. One tip: put two cards side by side, one for home and one for being out among others, and talk about the difference when nobody has just burped. It then becomes a conversation about how it is done rather than a telling-off mid-meal.
