Taking Turns

Sometimes only one person can go at a time. That's when we take turns! "You go first, then I go." It's fair for everyone. Taking turns means nobody misses out!

How to Share Nicely

Ask first: "Would you like to use this?" Wait patiently. Say "thank you" and "your turn." Smile! These little things make sharing easy and fun.
