Default Re: Changing seats

One idea I found on another website giving a tip for rearranging your students into smaller groups was to cut up postcards (or any picture) into 4 or so pieces, dish them out and then the students had to match them up together, thus forming their group of 4. This would be a good idea to keep groups fresh (lots of my students refused to work outside of their little cliques no matter how much coercing)

As pictures are fine for younger students who don't yet have the reading capability you could also do this with parts of a sentence for older ones or adults. Could get some interesting variations on the original sentence....
