Taking turns Sometimes we may want to play with a toy that a friend is already playing with. When this happens we can ask our friend for a turn. If our friend is not finished playing with the toy yet it is not ok to fight over the toy. One thing we can do is ask our friend if we can play with them and share the toy. We can also ask if our friend will trade us for a different toy. Sometimes we just have to wait until our friend is finished with the toy. When we share and take turns with our friends everyone has a chance to play.
