Slide Deck

The Sharing Adventure Begins!

(Hold up the first slide and smile) Today we’re going to meet two friends, Lily and Ben, and learn how they learned to share! Pause and ask: “What do you think sharing means?”

Playing with Blocks

Explain that Lily found her favorite building blocks and started to play. Ask: “Have you ever started playing and didn’t want to stop?”

Ben Wants a Turn

Show Ben on the slide. Ask: “How do you think Ben feels when he sees Lily playing alone?”

Learning to Share

Pause and ask kids: “What could Lily say or do to share?” Then explain the idea of taking turns.

Building Together

Point out how working together makes the tower bigger. Ask: “Does working with a friend make play more fun?”

Sharing Feels Good!

Highlight the positive feeling of sharing. Ask: “How do you feel when someone shares with you?”

Key Sharing Words

Read each word aloud with the class and encourage children to repeat after you.

Talk About Sharing

Lead a quick discussion: “Who can tell me a time you shared something? How did it feel?”
