Taking Turns and Sharing

- Explain why taking turns makes games and group work more fun for everyone
The lesson
Games are fun to play with friends. Everyone wants a turn. Taking turns means you wait, then play, then wait again.
Ben and Zoe have 6 blocks to share. They split them evenly: 3 blocks each.
If you want a turn, ask kindly and wait. Grabbing is not a turn. It just makes friends sad.
Take turns and share, and games get more fun for everyone.
