💛 Turn-Taking Tower

🧺 Materials

• building blocks, cups, or books to stack
• optional: a small bell or soft toy to pass as the 'turn token'

📋 Instructions (parent)

1. Sit on the floor with a pile of blocks or cups between you.
2. Explain that you will build one tower together, but only one person adds a piece at a time, taking turns.
3. Say 'mi turno' when it is your turn and 'tu turno' when you pass it to your child, handing over a turn token if you have one.
4. Practice waiting patiently and cheering each other's piece: '¡Buen turno!'
5. If the tower falls, laugh it off and talk about trying again together and not grabbing all the blocks.
6. Build a second tower and let your child be the one who says 'mi turno' and 'tu turno' to lead the game.

➕ Extension ideas

• Use the same 'mi turno / tu turno' words during a board game or while playing with a sibling.
• Take turns being the leader who decides what to build next: a casa, a puente, or a castillo.
