Hello, friends! Today, we have a fun story to read together. It’s called “It’s My Turn” by David Bedford and Elaine Theo. Are you ready? Let’s begin!
Oscar and Tilly found a playground. “Let’s play on the slide!” said Oscar. “I’ll go first,” said Tilly. Oscar asked, “Can I go now?” But Tilly said, “Not yet, it’s not your turn.”
Tilly went on the merry-go-round. Oscar asked, “Is it my turn yet?” Tilly said, “No, I’m not finished.” Tilly went round and round until she felt dizzy. “Have you ever felt dizzy?” asked Oscar. “It’s my turn now!” he shouted happily.
Oscar had fun on the merry-go-round. Tilly asked, “Can I slide after you?” Oscar said, “No, it’s still my turn.” Tilly asked, “Can I go on the swing after you?” Oscar said, “No, it’s still my turn.”
On the seesaw, Tilly said, “It doesn’t work.” But when Oscar jumped on, Tilly went up in the air! Then Tilly came down, and Oscar went up. They laughed and played together all afternoon.
Oscar and Tilly learned that sharing is nice. “Do you share with your brother or sister?” Sharing means having more fun together!
Did you enjoy “It’s My Turn”? Remember, sharing makes everything better. Thanks for reading with us today. See you next time!
Turn-Taking Game: Gather your friends or family and play a game that involves taking turns, like “Duck, Duck, Goose” or “Musical Chairs.” After playing, talk about how it felt to wait for your turn and how it felt when it was finally your turn. Did you enjoy watching others play while you waited?
Sharing Circle: Sit in a circle with your classmates or family members. Take turns sharing a toy or an object you like. As you pass the object around, say something nice about the person you are sharing with. How does it feel to share something you like with others?
Observation Walk: Go for a walk with a grown-up and look for examples of sharing and taking turns in your community. You might see people sharing a bench, taking turns at a crosswalk, or sharing toys at a park. Talk about what you see and how sharing and taking turns help everyone enjoy their time together.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi kids! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. Today we’re going to be reading “It’s My Turn” by David Bedford and Elaine Theo. Let’s start!
“It’s my turn!” Oscar and Tilly found a playground.
“Shall we play on the slide?” asked Oscar.
“I’ll go first,” said Tilly.
“I’ll go now,” said Oscar.
“Not yet,” said Tilly. “It’s not your turn.”
“Wow, that looks like fun!” said Oscar. “Is it my turn now?”
“Not yet,” replied Tilly.
Tilly went round and round on a merry-go-round.
“Is it my turn yet?” asked Oscar.
“No, Tilly, I haven’t finished,” she said.
Tilly went round and round and round.
“I feel dizzy,” said Tilly.
“Have you gotten dizzy in one of those things?” he asked.
“It’s my turn now!” Oscar cried.
“You’re too dizzy,” said Tilly.
“This is fun!” said Oscar.
“I feel better now. Is it my turn?”
“Can I slide after you?” asked Tilly.
“No,” said Oscar. “It’s not your turn.”
“Can I go on the swing after you?” asked Tilly.
“No,” said Oscar. “It’s still my turn.”
“Get off!” shouted Oscar. “It’s my turn!”
On the seesaw, Tilly said, “The seesaw doesn’t work.”
But when Oscar jumped on the other end, Tilly went up in the air.
Then Tilly came down and Oscar went up.
And then Oscar and Tilly played together all afternoon.
“Isn’t it nice to share?”
“It’s the best! Do you share with your brother or your sister? Well, you should because sharing means having more fun together. We like sharing our house.”
The end.
