1.3: Groups
In this activity students explore the benefits of belonging to different groups.
Tasks
- Ask the class to think about the groups to which they and others belong, including their family.
- Ask students to make a list of all the groups that they belong to.
- Using Handout 2: Groups I belong to,
ask students to write the names of the groups to which they belong
under the headings provided. Students may decorate the handout with
self-depictions which identify them with different groups.
- Display the completed handouts and compare and contrast the various groups to which students belong.
- Lead a class discussion on the benefits of belonging to a group including:
- Why is belonging to a group important?
- What kinds of things do people in the same group have in common?
- What contributions do people make to the groups to which they belong?
- Do groups influence who we are? How?
- Teachers may modify the handout if required to better reflect the make up of their classes and local communities.
