Do you have students who have a hard time sharing? Do they grab or hoard materials? Do they have trouble sharing recess materials or during small group activities? Mine do! I made this activity to help students who needed explicit teaching to understand how, what and why to share. The activities are fun, interactive, and young child friendly so that students can really gain an understanding of how they can share many different items, even things that are not material, such as friendship. These activities are great for students age or ability level K-2nd grade. My students really enjoy doing these fun activities. I hope yours do too.
