Recreate a Structured Group Activity Team at home with small, predictable group games — turn-taking towers, rolling-ball circles, group songs and shared tidy-up missions. Give clear roles, keep sessions short and joyful, and praise the social moment. If joining in stays very hard across settings, a friendly developmental check can guide next steps.

*Some of the warmest learning happens not one-to-one, but in the gentle bustle of a small group — and you can build that right at your kitchen table.*

## In short
A Structured Group Activity Team simply means a small, predictable group — siblings, cousins, a friend or two, or even toys and family members — working together towards a shared, clearly-structured goal. At home you recreate this with turn-taking games, simple shared projects and clear roles, so your child practises waiting, sharing, listening and joining in. Keep it short, predictable and joyful, and follow your child's lead.

## Try these at home
**Set the structure first**
- Use a visual or spoken plan: "First we build, then we tidy, then snack." Predictability lowers anxiety and frees your child to engage.
- Give everyone a clear role — "You pass the blocks, I stack them, sister claps." Roles make the group feel safe and readable.

**Small-group activities to start with**
- **Turn-taking towers:** each person adds one block; cheer every turn. Builds waiting and joint attention.
- **Rolling-ball circle:** sit in a small circle and roll a ball, naming who's next. Teaches anticipation and shared focus.
- **Group song with actions:** "Wheels on the Bus" with everyone doing the same movement together builds belonging and imitation.
- **Shared mission:** "Let's all tidy the red toys into this box" — one goal, many hands, lots of praise.

**Keep it working**
- Start with just two people and grow the group slowly.
- Keep sessions 5–10 minutes; stop while it's still fun.
- Narrate and praise the *social* moment — "You waited for your turn, lovely!"

## When to seek a little more support
If joining others, sharing attention or coping with turn-taking stays very hard across home and other settings, or your child consistently avoids or melts down in small groups, a friendly developmental check can help you understand why and what would help most. This is guidance, not a worry — early support is simply faster support.
