Taking turns on the computer

Computer

2 chairs

simple computer programme e.g. a painting programme

Set up the computer with your chosen programme

Sit next to the child

Show the child how to take turns by:

Saying 'My turn' ........'Your turn' etc Support this by using gesture/points

Depending on the level of difficulties the child is having, you may also need to do the following:

Use a visual timetable with your name in a (drawn) box and then the child's name in a box, then your name in a box and so on i.e. make a list of the turns with names written in boxes

For example:

As you take a turn, cross off one of the boxes with your name in it

As the child takes a turn help him/her to cross off one of his/her names in a box.

It is important to take a turn even if the child finds sharing very difficult.

Start by taking a very short turn for yourself and letting the child have a longer turn. As the child begins to understand that his/her turn will come around again you can lengthen the time of your turns.

You can use similar strategies for taking turns in other activities.

Taking turns with a computer game.

Computer game and two chairs

Egg timer

Start to play the computer game . As one person starts turn the egg timer over so that the player can see how long he/she has to play. When the egg timer has run through, the player must stop and it is the next person's turn to play.
