Example 1 — Taking Turns

Imagine you and your friends want to go down the big, swirly slide. How do you play fair?Step 1: Everyone makes a single line. The person at the front of the line goes first.Step 2: Wait for the person in front of you to get to the bottom and move away before you go. This keeps everyone safe!Step 3: After your turn, you can go to the back of the line if you want to go again.This way, everyone who wants to gets a turn to feel the whoosh!

Example 2 — Following the Rules

You're playing Tag! The main rule is to tag someone with a light, gentle touch on their back or arm. Why is this rule important?If someone pushes instead of tagging, it could hurt someone. That's not safe or fair.If the person who is 'It' doesn't try to tag anyone, the game isn't fun.Following the rules makes sure the game is fair, safe, and fun for all the players.
