Initiating play with others is essential for joining playgroups and friends, especially since most friendships at young ages are formed at recess. It requires seeking someone or a group, asking, joining, and including others. Accepting no for an answer when others decline your invitation to play is also taught as a social grace.
VIDEO MODELING – When we want to ask someone to play we get near them. We look at them and greet them. We ask them to play with us.
