Poppy Learns to Wait

A few easy ways to explore taking turns together.

The video is coming soon. You can use the everyday activity now.

BEFORE THE STORY

Take turns choosing which hand to wave. Keep turns short and predictable.

WHILE YOU WATCH

Watch the order of the turn cards. Name who is having a turn now and who goes next.

AFTER THE STORY

What helped Lily while she waited?

Make it fit your child

Keep it simple

Give one quick turn each and narrate whose turn it is.

Explore a little further

Ask your child to help decide a fair turn order for three people.

Try it in your day

Alternate choosing a book or making a quiet sound. End while everyone is still enjoying it.

Follow your child’s interest. Pointing, talking, drawing, and watching together all count as joining in; there is no score to earn.
