Getting organised: Who does what?

The most rewarding playgroups are those that feel like a shared space for everyone involved 

This means that everyone shares in decision-making and helps with the jobs that need to be done. 

The simplest way to make this happen is by asking the families interested in setting up the playgroup whether they would like to take on responsibility for some tasks.

You don’t need to have any official roles, but it is helpful to divide the tasks in a way that: 

• makes sense to your group 
• does not give too much work to any one person
• is enjoyable for the people taking the tasks on, for example, if someone really enjoys meeting people, they could take on the role of greeting families at each session.

It also helps if someone writes down what each person has said they will do and shares the list with all involved.
