Quick Answer

Taking Turns Homework gives families a simple way to practice waiting, noticing whose turn comes next, and playing together. A grown-up and child build one tower, adding one block each turn. Families can also try a matching-card game with a few pairs.

Send it home for an individual growth goal or a whole-class activity. The directions give families words they can use, and the three checkboxes make it easy to mark each short practice.

What’s Included

• Teacher cover: a quick overview, directions for use, and Preschool Vibes Standards

• Keep-at-home family page: three steps for building a shared tower, a “Did You Know?” paragraph, and three practice checkboxes

• Return-slip version: the same activity with a tear-off slip for the child’s name, date, and family signature

• Another way to play: a simple matching-card option with players switching after each turn, even after finding a match

How to Use

Choose a family page and invite families to play during three short practice times. Use blocks or stacking cups to build one tower together. Each person adds one piece, then waits for the other person’s turn.

Keep turns short, model “My turn” and “Your turn,” and gradually use fewer reminders. This works with one child and a grown-up. No sibling or playdate is needed.

Families keep the activity page. If you choose the return-slip version, they return only the signed slip after all three practices.

Preschool Vibes Standards

2D. We can play with others by taking turns and sharing space.

1C. We can pay attention and use self-control with support (wait, stop, start, safe body).
