How it works
Taking turns is kind. One friend goes, and the next friend waits.
Waiting can feel long, but everyone gets a go, and that is fair.
When we take turns, our friends feel happy, and so do we.
Worked examples
Me first!
- Kit and Bun both run to the slide and say, me first!
- Kit says, I will go first, and then it is your turn, Bun.
- Bun thinks, and nods. She will wait.
Your turn
- Kit goes down the slide, whee!
- Now it is Bun's turn, so Kit waits at the bottom and claps.
- Bun goes up, up, up, and whee, down she goes.
Say it
- Say, your turn, then my turn!
- You can ask for a turn too: can I have a turn?
- Play a game with a grown-up and take turns.
