Games That Teach Sharing
When your child is playing in a group, try using the following activities to help kids develop the ability and willingness to share.
Before You Play
Talk to children about the importance of sharing. Ask: “Why do you think it is important to know how to share? What are some ways you can share things like books and toys? How does it feel when someone else shares with you?”
Materials
Directions
Sharing crayons: Give each child one piece of drawing paper. Give the group a total of six crayons. Explain that they must figure out a fair way to share the crayons. (This can also be done with just you and a child sharing the crayons.) After the children have drawn their pictures, they can show and tell how they decided to share the crayons.
Sharing fair: Give the children a bowl of bite-sized crackers. (Make it enough for each child to have three, but don’t tell them.) Ask the group to find a way to share the snack fairly. Afterwards, have the children explain their solution.
