Weekend Fun Activity: What do your children like to share?


All you need is:
1. Ten minutes each day this week.
2. Markers and Construction paper.

On the top of each sheet of construction paper, write down the names of family/friends participating in the activity. Along the length of the paper, write the days of the week.
Each day this week, after dinner, set aside 10 minutes for “Sharing and Caring.” First tell the child what it is you are sharing for the day and write it down on your sheet alongside the day of the week. Next, do the same for your children. If they are old enough to write, they can write it themselves or they can simply tell you and you can write it for them. Sharing tasks can be as simple as sharing your time to help Mom/Dad in clearing the table or sharing your toy with your brother/sister or friend. By the end of the week, the chart will look something like this:

HARRIS WATSON’S
SHARING AND CARING LIST
Monday: Sharing Time: Clearing dishes after dinner.
Tuesday: Sharing Toy: My new lego set with my little brother.
Wednesday: Caring for my Dog: Putting dog biscuits in his bowl.
Thursday: Caring for Grammy: Calling her to see how she’s feeling.
Friday: Caring for Mommy : Giving her a hug to make her ankle feel better.


Make sure you post your Sharing and Caring charts on the refrigerator so that everyone can enjoy them! This is a great TOG that can help you to teach and learn: Teach them how wonderful it feels to share and care and learn about what they value most!
