Free Taking Turns and Sharing Songs and Rhymes {Character Education Resources}

Learning to take turns and share is difficult for almost all young children. Montessori education has helpful ideas about taking turns and sharing. Songs can also help. While parents vary in their philosophy of sharing, there are many free songs and rhymes about taking turns and sharing that can make both parents’ and teachers’ work easier.

I like the idea of teaching children to take turns and encouraging (but not requiring) children to share. Typically, sharing will come naturally as children mature. Many of these catchy songs will give a simple way to encourage both taking turns and, when the child is ready, sharing.
