The story "Say Hello" by Jack and Michael Foreman is about two different approaches to joining in a game. A group of children are playing ball at the playground when a dog comes along and wants to play. At first the dog feels left out and lonely but then asks if he can play and joins in. Next comes a boy who wants to play. He feels left out and alone and watches and watches.
Tyreese had an idea "He forgot to ask!"
In the end the dog notices the boy standing alone and invites him to play and he joins in.
Joining a group of playing children is an important skill.
Why do you suppose the boy didn't ask if he could join in?
"He didn't think about it"
"He was scared"
Maybe he didn't know what to say. We played a game of Ring Around the Rosie with two people. The children practiced asking if they could join one by one.
