Roles in a Group
Understand different roles people play in groups — leader, supporter, mediator, idea-generator — and recognise that effective groups need a mix of roles, not everyone trying to be the leader
Suggested ages 7–9
Learning journey
Your child is learning that friendships naturally change over time and developing skills to work well in groups, resolve disagreements peacefully, and understand different roles people play in teamwork.
Evidence of understanding
- Name at least three different roles people can play in a group
- Identify their own preferred role and describe its strengths
- Explain why groups work better when different people take different roles
Assessment prompt
In a group project, can Roles in a Group recognise that they don't always have to be in charge — and that sometimes the group works better when they support someone else's idea rather than pushing their own?
