Emily, Chester and Victoria were playing in the playroom quite happily this morning. They were sharing toys, playing together and having lots of fun. Then Wil came in.
"You guys aren't allowed to play here," he said.
"We like playing!" Emily replied.
"Do you want to play too?" asked Chester.
"I don't know," Wil answered, "I don't think we're allowed."
"This is a playroom," asserted Emily, "we're allowed to play here."
"It doesn't say 'playroom' on the door or anywhere in here," whined Wil, "how can you be sure?"
"This is where the toys are!" exclaimed Victoria, who then offered Wil a ring so he could join in her game of ring-toss.
Wil accepted the ring and threw it as hard as he could across the room. Wil laughed at this because he thought it was funny, but no-one else did.
"That's not how we play," Emily patiently stated, "we need to be more careful with the toys. If we're not, we won't be allowed to play here any more."
Chester and Victoria were very cross with Wil, but they still wanted him to play with them. Victoria offered Wil another ring.
Questions for Discussion:
1. How did Emily know the rules?
2. What happened next?
