What & Why
Sharing means letting someone else use something that is yours for a little while. Taking turns means we wait patiently for our chance to do something, like go down the slide or play a game.Why do we do this? Because it is kind, it makes our friends feel happy and included, and it makes games and playtime fair for everyone!
