sharing time
Classroom presentation period
Sharing time is a period in elementary classrooms when children take turns presenting something to classmates—a toy, a story, an experience.
Also called show-and-tell.
The phrase emphasizes the social and communicative aspects: During sharing time, Emma told us about her new puppy.
Outside schools, sharing time occasionally appears in support groups or meetings where participants speak in turn.
