Ways on How to Arrange Pupils for group work, pairs and threes in the

classroom
1. Clock partners. Give each student a clock
chart, and have them go around assigning
themselves a partner for each time of day. They'll
have a one o'clock partner, a two o'clock partner,
etc. Then you just say, "Get with your o'clock
partner."

2. Use sticks or names from a hat. Write students'


names on Popsicle sticks, shake them up in a cup, and
pop out the number of names you want in a group. Or
you can literally pull names from a hat.

3. Use synonym vocabulary word cards. Have sets of synonyms written on


different index cards and randomly pass them out. Then have students find
the other person in the room who has the word that means the same as
their card. Also try antonyms!
Partner grouping ideas (2 students):
Animal Act-It-Out: Act like your favorite animal. When instructor says, “freeze,”
find a partner that acted out either the same animal as you or someone whose
animal has the same characteristics (same body covering, same animal group,
same habitat, etc.).
Inside Circle, Outside Circle: Half the group will stand in a large circle and the
other half will form a smaller circle inside and facing the students in that large
circle. Either play music or just have students walk around in their respective
circles. When the music stops or instructor says, “freeze,” students will stop
moving. The person they are facing is their partner.

Larger grouping ideas (3+ students):


I Am an Entrepreneur: Stand in a circle (If you have a board or large chart
paper, write “I Am An Entrepreneur.” If not, say that sentence out loud to
students). Go around and each student will say one word of that sentence. Tell
them to remember what word they said. After everyone in the circle has said a
word, tell all of the “I’”s to go to one corner of the room, all the “Am”s in
another, the “An”s in the third corner, and the “Entrepreneur”s in the last
corner.
Picture Match: Put four copies of four (or the total number of groups you want to
have) different pictures in a bag or hat (pictures could be of anything that will
interest your kids-animals, superheroes, TV shows they enjoy, public figures they
are learning about or admire, etc.). Students will draw out a picture and find their
group members with a matching picture.
