Sometimes, I need to wait in a line at school to get my turn

It's also called queuing

I may have to wait in line for lunch

I may have to wait in line to go to the playground or for a ride

While I wait, I can try to stand behind my friend and keep my hands to myself

I can take deep breaths, count to ten, or hold a fidget  toy while I wait

Waiting in line helps everyone. When I wait in line patiently, it makes my teacher proud of me

good waiting
