Activity/strategy name and materials required	How to do the activity	Key principles for doing the activity and comments
Play a game with adult supervision Marble run; Bricks for sharing building and knocking down a tower; Any lotto game where pictures have to be matched; Skittles; Pushing cars down a run/pipe.	Choose a patient friend! Demonstrate the game to both children. Support turn taking by saying "It's John's turn... it's Fatimas's turn". You may need to support the child to maintain turn taking.	Keep turns short and snappy so children don't need to wait too long. Keep the time spent on the whole game short and snappy so children don't get bored. Support good waiting by saying "you are waiting..." sometimes the child will find it easier to wait if they have something to hold while they wait. You might need to make a chart of your child's name and the friend's name and point to each name at the appropriate time to make the idea of turn taking more visible.
