Make a Fair Sharing Plan
Use a simple rule so two fictional learners can share a material.
Supplied materials
- Paper and a pencil, or say your answers aloud.
Learn the idea
A group can agree on a rule before people take turns. A useful rule is clear and lets each person know what will happen next. Sharing does not mean everybody must use something at the same moment.
In our fictional classroom, Mina and Jo both want the one blue pencil. They agree that Mina will draw one shape, then Jo will draw one shape. Nobody has to give their own real belongings to do this activity.
- Ask an adult to read the classroom story.
- Draw two boxes labeled Mina and Jo.
- Write or say who has the pencil first and who gets it next.
- Explain how the rule lets both learners take a turn.
See the method in action
If Mina draws a circle and passes the pencil to Jo, the agreed turn rule is followed. Jo can now draw a shape.

See the answer and explanation
Jo gets the next turn.
Their rule says Mina draws one shape and then Jo draws one shape. Passing the pencil to Jo follows the agreement and gives both learners a turn.
Take it further
Make a new fictional rule for three learners: Mina, Jo, then Lee each draw one shape. Say the order aloud and explain what happens after Mina finishes.
