1. When there are manipulatives to be shared, it can be hard to just dump them
into a pile and expect the children to share without a squabble. Instead of
putting them all together in a pile, place some onto separate trays and give
one to each child. Each tray is a boundary for "ownership."
2. Another idea for sharing is to teach the children to ask, "What can I have?"
when they want to share someone else's toys. For example, if a child wants to
play with something that another child is playing with (such as Legos), he can
ask, "What can I have?" This gives the other child a chance to select what he
will share, and given the chance to be generous, the child usually does well.
