For students
Kids are taking turns rolling a ball. You want a turn too.
Ask to join. Practice what to do if the answer is yes or wait.
Ask: “Can I play too?”
Yes: “Where should I sit?”
Wait: “Can I have the next turn?”
For the counselor
2 min • Start. Read the game story. Ask “What can you say without grabbing the ball?”
6 min • Practice. Model the ask. Pair students. One asks and the other chooses yes or wait. Switch. If the answer is no, model “Okay. I’ll find another game.”
2 min • Check. “Show what you can do if they say wait.” Sample: “Can I have the next turn?” Pointing while an adult reads counts.
Fictional examples are fine. Students can point, speak, or pass.
