What kids do
“Print, cut and give each table the roles it needs (four for a group of four). Rotate the cards every week so each student tries every role.”
Printed on the sheet:
- Gets the supplies for the table and puts them back. Checks that the table is clean at the end.
- Shares the group’s ideas with the class. Says: “Our group thinks…”
- Watches the clock and tells the group how much time is left. Says: “Five minutes to go!”
- Makes sure everyone gets a turn.
- Says: “What do you think?” and
- Writes down the group’s ideas and answers neatly so everyone can read them.
- Checks that everyone understands and agrees before the group moves on. Says: “Does everyone get it?”
- Asks the group questions to dig deeper. Says: “Why do we think that?”
Teacher tip
Rotate table jobs weekly so every kid tries each role.
How to use it
- Introduce each job and model it before kids take it on.
- Rotate jobs on the same day each week so everyone gets a turn.
- Print it on colored paper so kids and helpers can spot it quickly.
Watch for
The same kids getting the favorite jobs. Use a fair rotation.
Talk about it
- Which job would you like to try? Why?
- Why do you think we use this in our classroom?
