Taking turns with the tablet
⏳sand timer🙏ask nicely🧱wait well🤝fair
One tablet, many people.
The big ideaOne tablet, many people: take turns, ask nicely, and no grabbing.

How it works

When people share one tablet, they take turns.

A sand timer gives everyone the same time.

Ask nicely. Do not grab.

If someone will not share, tell a grown-up.

Flip the sandtimerTake your turnThe sand runsoutHand it over
A fair turn.

Example 1: The sand timer

  1. Dad flipped a sand timer.
  2. When the sand ran out, it was the next turn.
  3. Ivy handed the tablet to Bram nicely.

Example 2: Asking nicely

  1. Otis said, can I have a turn, please?
  2. Other kind words are, my turn please, and thank you.
  3. Asking nicely worked.

Example 3: Waiting well

  1. Bram wanted to grab.
  2. He built a tower instead.
  3. You can also draw, or hop, or look out of the window.
