🌟 Taking Turns: A Super Skill!
Introduction
When we play games, talk in class, or share toys, we all get a chance to be the star. That’s called Taking Turns. It helps friends stay happy and makes fun things fair.
Why Taking Turns Is Important
- Fairness – Everyone gets a turn, just like each slice of pizza.
- Kindness – Waiting shows we care about others.
- Teamwork – When we share, games go smoother and last longer.
How to Take Turns
1. Look and Listen
Watch who is playing or talking. When they finish, raise your hand or say, “My turn, please!”
2. Use a Timer or a Toy
You can use a sand‑clock, a kitchen timer, or even a stuffed animal as the “talking stick.” The one holding it gets to speak or play.
3. Celebrate the End
When your turn is over, clap, smile, and say “Good job!” to the next friend.
Imagination Corner: The Turn‑taking Train 🚂
Imagine a bright train with many cars. Each car is a player. The train moves only when the front car (the turn‑holder) says “All aboard!” Then the next car takes the lead. The train never stops moving because every car gets a turn to lead.
Did You Know?
Fun Fact: Monkeys also take turns! In the wild, they wait for their buddy to finish eating a fruit before they grab the next one. Sharing helps them stay friends.
