Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi all,

I am on work placement in a 2-3 year old room where I have 2 focus children who I believe could benefit from activities that encourage sharing and patience.

I'm not exactly what you would call amazing at these kinds of things and when it comes to age appropriate activities I am even worse. If it were for the children at my work, there would be no problems at all but because its for a younger age group, I am finding it really difficult.

When I think of turn based games I am quite narrow minded and think board games but that just will not work when they are 2 and 3 years old with different skills and understanding. I suppose what I am trying to find out is what others have done to help with these skills and how well it turned out for them?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello,

I am adding some links about activities of sharing and patience.

On the Shoulder

This activity teaches grace and etiquette while also aiding in the development of patience. Children are taught in Montessori classes how to touch someone's shoulder to indicate they want their attention rather than interrupting them verbally.
