Joining a Group


Let’s think of ways to find groups of friends that you might like to join. Throughout their lives, people participate in many different kinds of groups, teams and clubs. A class is also a kind of group. Your classmates are part of your group experience everyday at school. Some kids are part of groups that meet after school. A child’s life is filled with different kinds of groups that meet after school. A child’s life is filled ith different kinds of groups.

 Scenario: Matt has just moved to the neighborhood and is a new student at school. He is sitting at a lunch table where a group of kids are planning some activities for the weekend. He wants to be included but doesn’t know what to do.
1)    What could Matt do to become part of the group?
2)    Do you think Matt should speak first or wait until someone in the group speaks to him?
3)    What could Matt say to start a conversation?
4)    Should the group invite Matt to join them? Why or why not?
5)    Tell about a time when you had time connecting with people in a group. How did you feel? What did you do?
