Program Overview
Why Should Children View This Program?
One of the most important social skills children in the early elementary grades need to learn is
how to share. Having only recently arrived at an understanding of the concept of ownership,
they are often reluctant to share what they have with others. But because at this age children are
also eager to participate in the joys of friendship, learning to share can be a crucial step in their
mastery of the skills needed to establish and manage social interactions and relationships.
Childhood is a time of infinite learning. Can I Have a Turn? Learning About Sharing takes
advantage of this axiom by showing young viewers that sharing not only helps them get along
better with others, but gives them a sense of self-satisfaction and self-worth that can set a sound
foundation for the years ahead. The program also makes it clear that while sharing has great
benefits, not all situations are the same, that there may be times when sharing is hard, and
sometimes they can choose not to share something that belongs to them. They also see that
they shouldn't expect others to always share their things with them. To extend the program’s
scope and usefulness, this Teacher’s Guide provides thought-provoking questions for discussion, suggested activities, reproducible handouts, and an extensive reading list of books on
sharing that young children will enjoy and learn from.
Learning Objectives
This program is designed to help children:
•
think about what it means to share with others.
•
learn that there are different ways to share.
•
recognize that someone’s decision not to share needs to be respected.
•
learn that it’s okay to choose not to share something that belongs to you.
•
understand that sharing can help people get along better with each other.
Program Content
Using age-appropriate scenarios, a host to move the story along, and songs to reinforce the
points made, this program shows the youngest students the value of sharing, different ways to
share, why sharing is a choice, and why someone’s decision not to share needs to be respected.

Program Summary
Different Ways to Share
The program opens with three short clips of kids who state quite firmly that they won’t share
what they are playing with. The scene then shifts to an after-school day care center where a host
makes clear that it can be a problem when people want to do or use the same thing at the same
time. Because there are so many kids at the center, the host points out that everyone has to
learn to share. “Let’s look at different ways to share,” she tells viewers.
Tina’s monopolizing the Play-Doh at one of the center’s tables, but Jennifer and Tommy want to
use it, too. To make it fair, the three decide to divide up the Play-Doh and put the molds and
tools in the center of the table, where all three can reach them. Later we see the boy, Tommy,
playing with the center’s only basketball by himself when Allison and Jessie tell him they want
to use the ball. To settle the problem, the three agree to play a game they all can participate in.
Emily arrives at the center eagerly looking forward to playing with her favorite toy, but finds
that Maria is monopolizing it. Tired of waiting, Emily grabs it, but Maria pulls it back. Then
Emily grabs it again. Suddenly aware of this tug-of-war, Jill, one of the assistants at the center,
suggests an equitable way out: Emily can have the toy for ten minutes, then Maria can have her
ten-minute turn, with Jill keeping time. “Taking turns is another way of sharing,” comments
the host. A song reinforces the points made in Part 1.
Do You Always Have to Share?
This scenario focuses on whether you should always expect to have a turn when it comes to
sharing something that’s not yours. Josh’s brother Mike has a new video game that Josh wants
very much to play with, but Mike is refusing to let him use it. He’s not ready yet to have anyone
else play with it, he says. Because Josh thinks Mike should share the game, he grabs it and runs
shouting to his mom. But wrestling Josh to the ground, Mike takes it back.
Appealing to their mother, Josh insists Mike has to share. But his mom doesn’t agree, which
confuses and angers Josh. “It would be nice if he did,” his mom says, explaining that Mike
doesn’t always have to share if he doesn’t want to. But she adds that Josh doesn’t always have to
share, either, which surprises him. “It works both ways,” she says. Choosing not to share is
okay, she tells Josh, but taking something that’s not yours isn’t okay. The host returns to reinforce Mom’s advice, noting that someone’s decision not to share is a decision you have to
respect. A song reinforces the points made in Part 2.
6
Sharing Is Your Choice
Emma is having a birthday, and just before her friends arrive to help her celebrate, her mother
gives her a present from her grandma. It's a beautiful doll. Emma is thrilled, but worried—her
guests might want to play with the doll and maybe break or dirty it. So her mother suggests she
put it away in a safe place until the party is over. Next day, realizing she’s invited her friend Liza
over to play, Emma’s not sure she wants Liza to come. It isn’t that they had a fight, Emma tells
her mother, it’s just that Liza might want to play with the doll and will get mad if Emma doesn’t
let her.
But her mother has a better idea. She suggests Emma put the doll away and play with it when
Liza goes home. In the meantime, her mother continues, take out some toys you do want to
share. That way, she adds, you can both have a good time together. The host applauds her idea:
Instead of having a fight with a friend, she says, find something you can have fun doing
together.
After a final song reinforcing that sharing is a choice, the host reviews for viewers the ideas
about sharing presented: that dividing things up, playing together, and taking turns are
different ways for people to share and get along; that someone’s decision not to share should be
respected; and that it’s okay not to share some things, as long as there are other things you are
willing to share. The program concludes with the suggestion that viewers take what they have
learned about sharing and share it with others.

Guidelines for Discussion
Group discussion is an invaluable way to explore ideas and issues, foster creativity, and build
communication and social skills. The following guidelines can help you maintain a “discussionfriendly” classroom:
Create a climate of openness and acceptance.
Encourage students to show respect for the opinions of others and model
this behavior yourself.
Establish ground rules.
Students can participate in formulating the rules for discussion. Rules will vary,
but should include some of these general principles:
- No putdowns, ridicule, or sarcasm.
- Everyone may speak without interruption.
- Everyone has the right to pass.
Guard against inappropriate self-disclosure.
An intense discussion may lead students to reveal inappropriate information about
themselves or others. Sensitivity and vigilance can help you head off such revelations.
Probe behind the neat and tidy answers.
Children are good at telling adults what they think adults want to hear. To find
out what students really think, it is often helpful to prolong discussion time and
encourage greater depth. Offer a “What if...?”; bring out issues such as fairness,
justice, intent or lack of it, and so on. Children have a remarkable capacity to discern
complexities and subtleties, and their discussions can be very rich.

Bulletin Board Starters
Invite students to draw pictures of different things they can share with others.
Have them write or dictate one or two sentences about each item and why it is a
good idea to share it with others. Display the pictures on the bulletin board under
the heading, “We Like to Share.”
Invite students to think of sound-bites, short phrases of fewer than ten words,
about how sharing makes them feel. As examples, suggest, “Sharing is fun for
everyone,” or “I like to share.” Write each sound-bite on a strip of oaktag and post
them on the bulletin board.
Have students go through old magazines and newspapers and cut out pictures
showing people sharing in different situations. Have them make a group collage
of the pictures on the bulletin board.
Post the letters S—H—A—R—E on the bulletin board, a few inches apart, and
place small cards nearby. Over one or two weeks, have children write or dictate the
names of things that could be shared that begin with one of these letters. Post the
children’s suggestions under the appropriate letter for all to see.
Create a tree of sharing. On the bulletin board, make a bare-limbed tree out of
brown construction paper. Give each child a leaf-shaped piece of green paper and
have them use their leaf to dictate or write about how they shared something with
a classmate or saw a classmate share. Tack the leaves individually to the tree.
Invite students to write or dictate stories of how they successfully used one of the
different ways to share outlined in the program. Have them illustrate their stories
and display them on the bulletin board.
11
Suggested Activities
Language Arts; Communication
Invite students to contribute all the words they can think of that describe how they feel
when someone refuses to share something with them. List the words on the chalkboard.
Then have them contribute all the words they can think of that describe how they feel
when someone shares something with them. List these words alongside the other list.
Discuss both lists of feelings with the class, including how sharing helps people get along
better with other people.
Art; Creative Expression
Invite students to make a book about different ways to share. Distribute sheets of white
paper and crayons. Have children select one of the ways to share suggested in the
program—using things together, playing together, and taking turns—and draw a picture
of people doing it. Have them write or dictate a short heading, describing what their
picture represents. Collect the pictures and put those illustrating the same topic
together. Ask for volunteers to design front and back covers, and when the book is
complete, bind it and place it where students can look through it in their free time.
Math
Tell students that in the program they learned that one way to share things is to divide
them up. Write some problems on the chalkboard that involve this kind of sharing,
such as: “If you had twelve chocolate kisses and had six friends to share them with, how
many pieces would each get?” or “If you wanted to divide nine sheets of construction
paper between three people, how many would each get?” Give children practice in
solving these and other simple problems you or they may think of.
Music; Creative Expression
Copy the lyrics of the program’s song on the chalkboard. Lead the children in reciting
the words of the song together, or ask for volunteers to sing a solo, using any tune they
prefer. Divide students into small groups. Ask each group to come up with a short
stanza of additional lyrics describing the many things in their lives that can be shared.
12
Art; Creative Expression
Have students create their own hand puppets by gluing sewing materials, buttons, pieces
of felt, and the like onto old socks or gloves. Have them use the puppets to replay the
scenarios in the program or other situations that they make up themselves that either
show the importance of sharing or why someone’s decision not to share needs to be
respected.
Language Arts; Art
Choose one of the books listed in the Suggested Reading section, or ask your school or
local librarian to recommend a book about sharing for young readers. Read the book
aloud to the class and ask them to think about the story’s main character as they listen.
Ask students, why do you think this character is refusing to share? Ask, "what would you
do if you were this character?" Ask students to predict what will happen in the book.
Have them draw pictures to match their predictions. Finish reading the story to see if
their predictions match the story’s ending.

Dear Family Member,
Your child has viewed a program called Can I Have a Turn? Learning About Sharing designed to
help children think about what it means to share with others and how it feels when others won’t
share with them. The program’s goal is to demonstrate different ways to share and how sharing
helps people get along better with others, as well as to help children become aware that when it
comes to sharing, not all situations need be the same.
The program shows children that:
•
problems can arise when one child monopolizes something that other
children might want to play with.
•
some of the ways they can share are by dividing things up, playing
together instead of alone, and taking turns.
•
choosing not to share is okay, but just taking something if someone
decides not to share it is not okay.
•
it may seem unfair, but someone’s decision not to share something
that belongs to them needs to be respected.
•
if they don’t want to share something, they should save it to play with
by themselves and find other things to share.
Talk with your child about what he or she has learned about sharing by creating openings for
discussion. Reading books together can reinforce your child’s understanding of the benefits that
can come from sharing and provide a springboard for discussion. Here are three books that
can help:
Barbara Shook Hazen. That Toad is Mine! HarperFestival, 1998.
A humorous and satisfying look at friendship and sharing.
Mary Ann Hoberman. One of Each. Megan Tingley, 1997.
A gentle message about the importance of sharing.
Kevin Luthardt. Mine! Atheneum, 2001. An ideal first picture
book about sharing.

HOST
How do you feel when someone won’t let you play with something you want?
JESSIE
It’s mine and you can’t play with it!
HOST
What do you do when your friend says you can’t have a turn?
TOMMY
No! You can’t have a turn!
HOST
How do you feel when someone wants to share something you have ?
ALLISON
I don’t want to share!
HOST
Sometimes it’s not easy to share or take turns. But do you always have to share?
Should you always expect to get a turn? Learning about sharing is important because
sharing helps us to get along better with other people. So let’s share some time
together right now and talk all about sharing.
CAN I HAVE A TUR
N ? LEARNING ABOUT SHARING
TURN
HOST
Sometimes, people want to do the same thing or use the same thing—at the same
time. And that can be a problem. What can you do? Let’s find out about different
ways to share.
Each day, lots of kids go to the after-school center at South End Elementary School.
The kids can do their homework, or work on art projects, or play with the toys and
34
games. But there are lots of kids at the center, so everyone has to learn to share. And
there are different ways to share. For example, Tina was playing with play-doh and
using all the tools to mold and shape it. But Tommy and Jennifer wanted to play with
the play-doh too. What could they do? Jennifer had a good idea.
JENNIFER
I know, why don't we put the tools in the middle of the table, and divide up the
play-doh.
TOMMY
Then we can all use some.
HOST
They learned that one way to share is to divide things.
Later that day, Tommy was playing with the only basketball when Allison and Jessie
came over.
ALLISON
We want to use the basketball.
TOMMY
But I’m using it right now.
JESSIE
Then let’s play together. We can play that game “horse.”
TOMMY
Okay, I like that game.
HOST
Another way to share is to use things together. Playing together can also be a lot of
fun.
Now that same day, Emily went to the center with the idea of playing with her favorite
toy. However, when she got there, she saw that Maria was already playing with it. She
was kind of disappointed, but she waited a little while figuring that Maria would be
finished playing soon. She waited and she waited. And finally she got tired of waiting.
35
EMILY
I want to use this now.
MARIA
I’m not done.
EMILY
You had it long enough.
MARIA
Give it back!
EMILY
No! I’m playing with it now.
HOST
It was a good thing that Jill, one of the assistants, was there.
JILL
Hey, what’s going on?
EMILY
I want this toy, but Maria’s hogging it!
MARIA
But I was playing with it—and you just took it from me. That’s not right!
HOST
Both Emily and Maria want to play with the same thing—at the same time—and
that’s a problem. But Emily made the problem worse by just taking it. Now what can
they do?
JILL
Well, how are you guys going to work this out?
MARIA
Easy. She can have it when I’m finished.
36
EMILY
That could be forever.
JILL
Okay, how about this. Let’s say Maria plays with it for ten minutes. Then Emily, you
can have a turn. Does that sound fair?
EMILY
Okay.
MARIA
Yes.
JILL
I’ll keep time for you guys, okay? But Emily, the next time when you want a turn at
something, tell the other person. Or ask when they’ll be finished. Don’t just grab.
Okay?
EMILY
Okay. I’m sorry.
HOST
So, Maria took a turn. Then Emily took her turn. They worked out the problem.
Taking turns is another way of sharing. When you can’t use something at the same
time—work out a way to take turns.
SONG
Sharing isn't always easy to do
Sometimes you have to work things through.
So take turns and share, it’s never wrong.
Taking turns helps everybody get along.
Taking turns helps everybody get along.
37
HOST
So far we’ve learned that there are different ways to share—dividing things up, playing
together, and taking turns are all great ways to share and get along. But what happens
when there’s something you want and the person who has it won’t share? Should you
always expect to have a turn and share something that’s not yours?
Josh loved to play video games and his brother Mike had just gotten a brand new
game. Josh couldn’t wait to play with it. Mike was playing with some of his friends, so
Josh figured he’d wait and play later.
But when he came back later, he couldn’t find the game. There were plenty of other
games in the box—but not the new one. So he asked Mike where it was.
JOSH
Where’s your new video game?
MIKE
Right there.
JOSH
I want to play it now, okay?
MIKE
Ummmm. No.
JOSH
Huh?
MIKE
I don’t want anyone else to play with it yet.
JOSH
How come?
MIKE
Because it’s new.
38
JOSH
But you always let me play with your games.
MIKE
Not this one.
JOSH
You have to let me play it!
MIKE
No, I don’t!
JOSH
Yes you do!
Mom! Mom!
MIKE
Give me my game back!
JOSH
Mom!
MOM
Okay you two. Stop it, now! What’s going on?
MIKE
Josh grabbed my new video game.
JOSH
That’s because he wouldn’t let me play with it.
MIKE
I want it back!
JOSH
No! Tell him he has to share.
MIKE
I don’t want to.
39
JOSH
He has to—doesn’t he?!
MOM
Well no, he doesn’t. Mike, why don’t you put this away.
JOSH
What?
MOM
The game is Mike’s, right?
JOSH
Yeah.
MOM
Well, he doesn’t have to share. It would be nice if he did. But he doesn’t always have
to share his things if he doesn’t want to. Let’s go in the kitchen and we’ll talk.
You can’t expect people to share everything they have with you. And you don’t always
have to share your things either.
JOSH
I don’t?
MOM
No. It works both ways.
JOSH
But it makes me mad when he won’t let me play with the game.
MOM
I can understand that. But there will be plenty of times when someone is going to
have something you want—and they’re not going to want to share it. And you just
can’t take it. You have to respect their decision not to share.
JOSH
And that’s okay?
40
MOM
Yes. Choosing not to share is okay. But to take something that’s not yours, isn’t.
HOST
Well, Josh’s mom is right. No one has to share their things. It’s nice if they do—but
they don’t have to. And you just can’t expect that they will. So, if there’s something
you want—and it belongs to someone else—then you have to respect how they feel.
Now, it might make you mad—and it might make you sad—but you can’t expect
everyone to share all the time.
SONG
When someone won’t share, it can make you sad,
You have to walk away—even though you’re mad.
When someone doesn’t share, it’s hard to accept.
But it’s a choice that you've got to respect.
It’s a choice that you've got to respect.
HOST
So far we’ve learned about different ways to share—and that you can’t always expect a
person to share their things. But what happens if you have something and you don’t
want to share it? What should you do? Watch what Emma found out.
It was Emma’s birthday and she was getting ready for her party. Just before the kids
got there, Emma’s mother gave her a big box.
EMMA
What’s this?
MOTHER
It’s a present from Grandma and Grandpa.
EMMA
Wow!
MOTHER
They hope you like it.
41
EMMA
I love it! She’s beautiful!
All the kids are going to be here. Everyone’s going to want to play with her. I’m afraid
she’ll get broken—or dirty.
MOTHER
Then why don’t we put her back in the box and we’ll put her away in your room.
EMMA
Good idea.
HOST
The day after the party, Emma was playing with her new doll.
MOTHER
I thought you were having a friend over today?
EMMA
Liza was supposed to come, but I don’t think I want her to.
MOTHER
My goodness, what's wrong? Did you girls have a fight?
EMMA
No.
MOTHER
Then why don’t you want her to come over?
EMMA
She’s going to want to play with my new doll—and I don’t want her to.
And she’s going to get mad if I tell her she can’t play with it.
MOTHER
You don’t have to share all your things, but ....
42
EMMA
And it will be hard to tell her no.
MOTHER
Yes, it will.
EMMA
So I think the easiest thing is to tell her not to come over.
MOTHER
I have a better idea. You’re right, it will be difficult to tell her you don’t want to share
your new doll—and you don’t want to have a fight. So what I suggest is that you take
the doll and put it away and play with it later, after Liza goes home. Then you can take
out some toys that you do want to share. That way, you can both have a good time
together.
HOST
Emma’s mother is right. You don’t always have to share all of your things. But if you
don’t want to share something, then you should put it away to play with by yourself.
Instead of having a fight with a friend, find something you can have fun doing
together.
SONG
If you have a special toy that you don't want to share,
Save it for youself, it's not unfair.
Put it away when your friend comes to play.
Play with it another day.
Play with it another day.
HOST
We shared lots of ideas today about sharing.
We learned that there are different ways to share—dividing things up, playing
together, and taking turns are all the kinds of ways people can share and get along.
We also learned that you shouldn’t expect people to share—and that if they decide not
to share something you want—you can’t just take it. You have to respect their decision
not to share.
43
And, finally, we learned that it’s okay to choose not to share. But when you’re with
others, find things that you do want to share with them. That way, you can all have
fun together.
Now it’s your turn to take what you learned about sharing—and share it with others.
