Playground Powers
Poppy the Play Fair Bear helps children learn the importance of taking turns, sharing and playing fairly. Poppy teaches that everyone deserves a chance to join in because "We take turns and share, that's how we play fair!"
Poppy grew up loving playground games, but sometimes found it hard to wait for a turn and share with friends. Poppy had to learn how to calm big feelings and then take turns and share. Then, Poppy became the playground’s guide for sharing, turn taking and fair play. Now Poppy helps everyone remember that the best games are the ones where we take turns and share.
Poppy helps us learn to practise turn taking and sharing through every day moments in play.
when someone else is already using the swing, slide, or favourite toy.
when two children both want to use the same toy or equipment.
when everyone wants to be the leader or go first.
when one child keeps having all the turns during a game.
when children are playing together and need to share materials fairly.
when friends want different games and need to play each other's games.
Taking turns, sharing and playing fair can be tricky. Find some free resources to use at home or at school.
