A fun way to teach preschoolers to take turns speaking is to use a play phone. Using a couple of play phones or play cell phones call your child. When she answers ask her about her day and what she is doing now, what she wants for lunch etc. She has to listen to you before she can respond and vice versa. It is an easy, fun way to help little ones learn the importance of listening to others during communication.
