Many Hands Together.
Groups fulfill many purposes. Most frequently, people join a group to meet their own needs. These needs include: People gain a lot by belonging to a group. An individual may not be able to complete a project that a group takes on. A group provides solidarity, support and shared expertise. Below is the graphic organiser you need to fill out.
 * Identity with others
 * Friendship and relationships with others
 * Showing leadership and abilities/control

Group Interactions.
WALT:
 * Explore the interaction of people within groups
 * Describe rights and responsibilities of members of groups
 * Explain rules and roles that operate in groups.

WILF:
 * Discuss the roles people in our group had and the rules that developed
 * Reflect on the 'directed play' and compare it to our regular peer group
 * Consider examples of rights and responsibilities in groups
 * Describe rules and roles that operate in groups.

INFORMATION. Every group member plays 'roles' in a group whether is it explicit or implicit. Some roles in a group relate to getting a task done, others relate to keeping a group flowing smoothly (social roles), and a final set of roles relate to fulfilling personal goals. Task-oriented roles are often designated to make sure groups work well together. These include toles such as a note taker, a reporter, a time-keeper, a leader etc. There are also social roles such as an encourager, an observer or a negotiator. Individualistic roles describe personal goals and agendas - such as wanting to run the group, achieving recognition, wanting to be liked or trying to put down other members. In an attempt to complete a task, fulfill smooth group dynamics and minimise destructive group behaviours, a group will design rules. You may find students with very elaborate sets of rules for the games they play with their peers to 'keep things fair'. Societies develop complex rules and laws for exactly the same purposes.

REFLECTION ON DIRECTED PLAY. 1. What roles were your friends playing in your group - try and guess? 2. How did the actions of others in your group make you feel? 3. Did any problems arise? 4. How did you solve them? 5. In your regular friendship groups, do people have 'roles'? 6. In your regular friendship groups, do you have rules? If so, what are they?

ME AT PLAY IN A GROUP Draw a sketch of your group at play in the playground. Complete speech bubbles that describe what the child or others were saying/thinking and paste them on to the sketch. This could be done using Kidpix and Comiclife.

IF... THEN... STATEMENTS Complete the following 'if...then...' statements. Try to make up some of your own, at least three, about decision making.
 * If a group had no rules, then...
 * If everyone in a group tried to be the leader, then...
 * If only some members of a group know what the rules are, then...
 * If New Zealand had no rules, then...
 * If all group members make rules and then some break them, then...

IT’S YOUR MOVE! How do people become leaders and what impact does leading have on the leader?
