Our Playground Rules!
Our playground rules!
Why?
Because we say hello…
And we make each other feel welcome.
Everyone gets a turn.
We like to help.
And we listen to each other.
A group of different animals like to get together at the playground to have some fun. They recite their playground rules, and they have some ideas on how to make it a great space for everyone.
Our Playground Rules!, by Kallie George, is a simple book that shares simple rules that can make things go smoothly at the playground. The playful designs will appeal to young children. The pictures are bright and bold and feature cute animals. It is also a great way to start a discussion about taking turns, saying sorry when something goes wrong, returning what we borrow and including other children who may feel lonely. Our Playground Rules! would make a good addition to a kindergarten class, a book that could be shared with children before heading out the park or playground in order to set some ground rules.
