The "Tap & Talk"
Move close, look at your friend, and say something to join in!
Try saying:
"That looks cool! Can I play too?"
"Do you want to build this with me?"
2 The Question Bridge
Questions are like bridges! They keep the conversation moving to the other person.
"What are you making?"
"How do you play this?"
"Which one is your favorite?"
Keep the bridge open!
3 The Give & Take
My Turn
I do my action, wait for my friend, and watch what they do!
Your Turn
