BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Gather a few things.

This sheet and crayons; two toys can stand in for players.

One useful question

“What could we change so both ideas have a place?”

HOW IT GOES

  1. Let each player choose one thing they want in a pretend play space.
  2. Draw both ideas in the shared space.
  3. Decide how to take turns or change the plan when two ideas need the same spot.

Make it gentler

Grown-up offers two choices and follows the child’s answer.

Add a little stretch

Write a fair turn-taking plan, then check whether both people agree.

A good place to stop

Ask each player to name one part they like.
