LESSON 22: Sharing Toys 
Lesson Focus: Object Relationship
Age Group: 2-3 years old
Duration: 30 minutes
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Remember: Recognize sharing opportunities.
2. Understand: Show toy handling care.
3. Apply: Participate in toy exchanges.

MATERIALS:

1. Real toys / Visual cue cards (safe, child-sized versions)
2. Drum or hand clapper (for start/stop cues)
3. Floor spots or tape 
4. Optional: toy basket for selection 
5. Powerpoint: 

LESSON PROCEDURES:

1)  Begin Warm-Up (3 minutes)

• Lead gentle stretches with toy-inspired motions (roll arms like a ball, sway like a teddy).
• Introduce the idea: “Today we will play with toys and learn how to share them.”
• Invite children to copy 2 toy-inspired movements.

2) Present Sharing Opportunities (5 minutes)

• Display two identical toy props (e.g., two balls, two dolls).
• Model a simple sharing moment: offering, holding together, or showing a toy.
• Invite children to notice when a toy can be shared with a friend.

3) Demonstrate Toy Handling Care (6 minutes)

• Show careful ways to hold, pass, and place toys (gentle grip, slow handover).
• Narrate with clear language: “I hold the teddy gently. I pass it slowly.”
• Invite children to practice careful handling with a partner.

4) Guide Toy Exchange Scenarios (8 minutes)

• Pair children with one or two toys.
• Prompt them to suggest to each other what to play: 
  • “Let’s roll the ball together.”
  • “Let’s stack the blocks side by side.”
  • “Let’s rock the doll and sing.”
• Encourage joint play after the suggestion.
• Invite children to take turns suggesting and then playing together.

5) Facilitate Partner Performance (6 minutes)

• Offer choice of toy roles in pairs.
• Cue actions with drum or clapper.
• Invite children to perform a mini scene together: one suggests, both play, then finish with a shared gesture (wave, clap, smile).
  • 
     

6) Lead Cool-Down and Reflection (2 minutes)

• Guide calming breaths with toy imagery: “Blow like a car horn… sigh like a teddy.”
• Ask reflection prompts: “What did you suggest to your friend?” “How did you play together?”
• Invite children to share their favourite sharing moment.

ASSESSMENT

• Observe recognition of sharing opportunities.
• Check careful handling of toys during exchanges.
• Assess participation in toy exchanges through suggestions and joint play.

REMARKS

• Encourage more two-person interactions on stage to build collaboration.
• Adapt actions for seated or simplified versions.
• Use freeze signal consistently; narrate positive examples (“I see gentle sharing!”).
• Pair toy names with visuals and repeated phrases.
• Differentiate: 
  • Emerging learners: suggest one simple play idea.
  • Advanced learners: create longer joint play scenarios with partner gestures.
• Pre-cue transitions (“Ready to share in 3-2-1”).
• Arrange floor spots and zones for safe movement.
