Teachers will encourage individual children to pretend to have a conversation on the phone in this activity. Caregivers can reply to a baby’s babbles, and then pause to encourage the baby to continue “talking.” Practitioners can initiate and model conversations with toddlers by asking open-ended questions and waiting for a response. At least one person in the conversation should get three turns to talk.
