Taking Turns

Taking turns means waiting for your go and letting others have a chance. It is a key skill in games, classrooms and conversations.

Children learn taking turns early through play.

It is a simple way to be fair, and it helps games and activities run smoothly. Taking turns also teaches patience and respect.

If you find it hard to wait, try counting or looking at something interesting while you wait. Remember that your turn will come, and everyone enjoys playing more when they know the rules are fair.
