What Makes Groups Different?
Each group has its own goal, what they want to do or achieve.
- The kids building the sandcastle are a group who want to make something beautiful.
- The kids racing bikes are a group who want to have fun by moving fast.
- The snack-eating friend is a group of one with the goal of eating everything!
Why Goals Matter
Goals help everyone in the group know what to do. If you're all trying to build a sandcastle, it’s easier to work together, but if someone wants to race bikes, they might be distracted.
Just like in the park, groups with different goals can make things interesting (or even a little confusing), but that's part of the fun! Imagine you're playing with friends at the park, some want to build a big sandcastle, others want to race bikes, and one friend just wants to eat all the snacks. That's like different groups with different goals!
