Today we introduced our ‘sharing box’ 📦.
The box is filled with a few items of interest, this may be following our current theme, a few interactive toys or extended on from things we have done that day 🍃.
The session lasts for around 5 minutes, during which the children are able to develop their turn taking skills.
All of the children sat attentively, showing good levels of concentration and patience as they waited for their turn 🥎.
Singing a familiar song to introduce and revisit the activity helped to maintain engagement and provide clear cues for transitions 🎵.
As each item was taken from the box, key words were modelled to support language development and reinforce understanding. The object was then passed around the group, allowing each child a brief opportunity to explore it before passing it on. This short, consistent turn-taking approach helped to sustain interest and minimise waiting times ⏱️.
The children responded positively to this new routine, showing increasing awareness of sharing and cooperation.
