For example, yesterday both Emily and Hannah used the crayons at different times of the day. During our challenge hunt Emily claimed that Hannah should put them in her stash box because she used them last. Naturally, Hannah insisted that Emily take them because she got them out first. This is where my job as a referee comes in. Since they both played with the crayons I added one point to each of their scores. Then, the girls played paper, rock, scissors to figure out who would actually put them away. If it’s a big mess I force them all to work together to clean it up but I try to give them different roles to cut down the fighting (ie, Hannah cleans up the papers – Emily cleans up the markers and crayons – Jack puts everything back in the craft box.)

I hope that answers your question, Brooke (and Laura). Good luck.
