How to set up pair and group work Be sure to fully explain the procedure before splitting the class up. Always demonstrate either yourself of with the help of a volunteer exactly what they have to do. Ask them to tell you what they have to do before they do it to check their understanding. Have fill in activities ready for the quick finishers – but be sure that they have completed the task correctly first and haven’t just finished early because they misunderstood what they had to do. Don’t forget to have feedback time after pair/group work so that the children don’t feel that they have been wasting time. It’s important to share their work as a whole group although this doesn’t have to be systematic. Set a clear time limit. Control who works with who so children aren’t always being dominated or dominating others.
