Following rules, sharing, and taking turns
Aligned to SHAPE 4 — SHAPE America National Standards.
What this lesson teaches
When we play together, rules keep everyone safe and fair, and taking turns means everyone gets a chance. Sharing the ball or the jump rope helps everyone have fun. Being a good sport means playing kindly whether you win or lose.
Worked example
Imagine three friends want the same ball. A fair way is to take turns, each bouncing it five times, then passing it on so everyone gets a turn.
Practice questions
- Show how you would take turns with one ball.
- Name one rule that keeps a game safe.
- What can you say to cheer on a friend?

Seguir reglas, compartir y tomar turnos
Cuando jugamos juntos, las reglas mantienen a todos seguros y en igualdad de condiciones, y tomar turnos significa que todos tienen oportunidad de participar. Compartir la pelota o la cuerda para saltar ayuda a que todos se diviertan. Ser buen deportista significa jugar con amabilidad, tanto si ganas como si pierdes.
Ejemplo: Imagina que tres amigos quieren la misma pelota. Una forma justa es tomar turnos: cada quien la bota cinco veces y luego se la pasa al siguiente para que todos tengan su turno.
