- Ask pupils to form a series of groups, according to, for example, their favourite music/food/sport/television programme, gender, languages they speak, beliefs, where they were born, etc.
- Were they born into these groups, or put in them? Do they change their behaviour depending on who they are with? Do they belong to different groups at different times?
- Pupils reflect on the different groupings. Are there any surprises? How does it feel to belong to a large group? What about small groups? Are any pupils on their own?
- How are our experiences the same or different? What about experiences of health care, education, the police, leisure facilities? Ask pupils to consider how they might learn from the experiences of others. How do they behave towards others, and how do others behave towards them? Does everyone get the same treatment? Is different treatment the same as discrimination?
