Sharing Activities

What children practise

This set uses simple pictures, matching tasks, colouring, tracing, sorting, and short situations to make sharing easier to understand. Younger children can identify fair choices, match children with shared objects, and practise words such as "Can I have a turn?" Older children can think about two possible choices, explain why one is fair, and write or draw a helpful response. The activities suit Nursery, LKG, UKG, and the early primary years. Children do not need to read every instruction independently, as an adult can read the situation aloud.

Use the worksheets in daily routines

At home, use a worksheet before a playdate or after a small disagreement about toys, crayons, or a favourite book. Ask your child to point to the fair choice, then practise the words together with toys. In class, use a situation as a short circle-time prompt before group work, art, or snack time. Pairs can act out both sides of a turn-taking problem. You can also place a completed page in a child's folder and revisit the choice when the same situation comes up. For more everyday language, pair this set with Good Manners Worksheets.

Help children share without pressure

Children often think sharing means giving away a treasured item immediately, or that being fair always means splitting everything into equal parts. Some may grab, interrupt a turn, or agree on paper but forget the words during play. Help by naming the problem calmly: "You both want the red car." Offer clear choices such as taking turns, choosing another item, or playing together. Respect that a child may keep a personal comfort item aside. Model asking first, waiting, and returning an item when a turn ends. Praise the helpful action you saw, such as offering a crayon or waiting patiently.
