Streamline Group Work in the Classroom

When pupils work in groups, they do more than just the assigned task. They hone and use skills like communication, problem-solving and time management too!

So if you don’t set clear expectations from the start, it’s no surprise that the workload gets imbalanced amongst team members.

Use these posters to establish roles for each group task participant to know how they will contribute to the assignment. The roles pupils will take on through this resource include:

  • Group Leader
  • Speaker
  • Recorder
  • Materials Manager
  • Sound Manager
  • Timekeeper
  • Encourager
  • Ambassador

Easily assign groups with our Random Name Selector Widget!

How to Use Role Cards for Group Work

Organise your group work with this download, which includes a set of role cards and a set of posters.

Posters

Before using the role cards, it is essential to review each function with your whole class. Project each poster on the screen to talk about the roles with your pupils. Then, hang the posters in a prominent location in your classroom for students to reference throughout the year.

Cards

Print enough sets of the role cards for each group to have one complete set. Cut them out and store them in clear sleeves to be used repeatedly. When pupils work in groups, give them a set of role cards and have them decide which group member will be assigned each position. Pupils place their role cards in front of them as a reminder of their duties and let you know who is responsible for each role.
