There are some variances among Baptist churches as there is no strict recognition of any one ecclesiastical higher authority or any one human religious governing body outside that of each individual Baptist church. That being said, the more common practice is for a monthly or quarterly adherence to the Eucharist, usually referred to as the keeping of Communion. It is not generally viewed among Baptists as a Sacrament but simply as a keeping of the Lords command to, "do this in remembrance of me" Luke 22:19.
There usually is given an admonition that this is to be partaken of by believers in the Lord Jesus Christ only and that it is done for the purpose that we might regularly be reminded of what our Lord did for us; that our Lords Body was broken for us (as symbolized by the bread) and that His Blood was shed for us (as symbolized by the Grape Juice), when He paid for our sins, dying on the cross. It is seen as a time of recommitting to faithfulness in ones own personal walk with Christ.
Usually there is a prayer preceding it thanking the Lord for His salvation and what He did to obtain it for us (dying on the cross for our sins) and asking the Lord to bless the giving of the Communion, and use it as a time to cause the people to renew their commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ in their daily walk. The (usually) unleavened bread or Matzoh (a small cracker like bread) is distributed among the congregation and then the grape juice (usually) in small cups. Once all is distributed, the scriptures pertaining to it are usually read ( like Luke 22:15-20) Then in Unison the congregation partake of the bread first, and then the grape juice. After which may be another prayer thanking the Lord or an admonition to the congregation to use this as a time to re commit to ones personal walk with Christ. The congregation is then dismissed if at the end of the worship service, or the regular service then begins. Again, there are some variances among individual Baptist churches but this is the general flow of how Communion proceeds within a Baptist church.

Two, baptism and communion (commonly referred to as the Lord's Supper.) Both are seen as ordinances, not sacraments. Baptism is for professing believers, not infants. It is nearly always a one time event and by immersion. Communion can be either "open" or "closed", depending on the particular church. Open simply means that the communion, when observed, is available to all who have experienced 'believer's baptism", closed communion is limited to that church's congregation.
