A person can belong to many different groups at the same time. You might be part of a family, a school class, a soccer team, and a neighborhood all at once. Each group is a different part of your life.
Question 2 True / False
Everyone in a group must like all the same things.
TTrue
FFalse
Answer: False
People in a group share something in common, but they do not have to be the same in every way. A soccer team shares a love of soccer, but the players might have different favorite foods, different families, and different hobbies outside of soccer.
Question 3 Short Answer
Name three groups you belong to and what you have in common with the other members.
Think about your answer, then reveal below.
Model answer: Examples include: my family (we live together and care for each other), my class (we learn together at the same school), and my soccer team (we practice and play games together). Each group shares something different in common.
A good answer names at least three groups and identifies what the members share — it could be a place, an activity, a goal, or a relationship.
Question 4 Multiple Choice
What is one important benefit of belonging to a group?
AYou never have to think for yourself
BYou can accomplish things you could not do alone
CYou get to tell other people what to do
DYou do not have to follow any rules
One of the biggest benefits of belonging to a group is that you can accomplish things together that would be impossible alone. A team can win a game, a class can put on a play, and a community can build a park — none of those can be done by just one person.
Question 5 True / False
Being part of a group means you have something in common with the other members.
TTrue
FFalse
Answer: True
Groups are formed around something shared — a place, an interest, a goal, or a relationship. Your family shares a home and love. Your class shares a school and a teacher. Your team shares a sport. That shared element is what makes the group a group.
