Let's take turns

A choice of 2 simple turn-taking games such as:

lotto,

marble run,

bricks or cups to stack,

simple inset jigsaw puzzle,

colouring activity.

1. Choose a fairly able classmate to work with the child.

2. Show the child the two activities you have selected and ask him to choose one of them.

3. Take both children and the activity into a quiet location.

4. Set up the activity.

5. Show the children how to play the game if it is unfamiliar.

6. Encourage the children to take turns by prompting with "Ernest's turn", "Masoud's turn".

Praise the children for "good waiting".

You may need to give gentle, non-verbal prompts (for example, put your hand over the child's) to make sure they let the other person have a turn.
