Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will understand the concept of sharing and taking turns, and will be able to demonstrate these skills through fun activities and games.

Materials and Prep

• Two soft balls or plush toys
• A timer (or a simple way to keep track of time)
• A comfortable space to play and move around
• Knowledge of basic rules for sharing and taking turns

Activities

• Ball Toss

  In this activity, the student will practice taking turns tossing a ball back and forth. Set a timer for one minute and see how many times they can toss the ball to each other without dropping it. This will help them learn to wait for their turn and enjoy sharing the fun!

• Sharing Toys

  Gather a few toys and have the student choose one to play with. After a few minutes, encourage them to share the toy with you or a friend. This activity reinforces the idea of sharing and helps them feel good about letting others play.

• Story Time

  Read a short story that includes themes of sharing and taking turns. Ask the student questions about the characters and how they shared or took turns in the story. This will help them connect the lesson to real-life situations.

Talking Points

• "What does it mean to share? Can you tell me something you like to share?"
• "Taking turns is like waiting for your turn on a slide. Why is it important?"
• "When we share, we can have more fun together! Can you think of a time you shared something?"
• "How do you feel when someone shares with you? Let's talk about those feelings!"
