1. Pupils are divided into small groups.
2. Each group is given a flip chart sheet or an A3 sized piece of paper with a question
relevant to a particular topic at the top. Each piece of paper might have a different question.
3. Pupils work in their groups within a time limit to write down their responses, thoughts and
ideas which stem from the initial question.
4. Each group might be given a different colour of pen to allow for easy identification of
responses afterwards.
5. After the allocated time pupils rotate to another sheet with a different question.
6. They read the responses of the previous group and discuss whether they agree or disagree.
If they agree, they tick. If they disagree, they could justify this by writing an explanation.
7. Pupils then write down their own thoughts on the issue. If their ideas have stemmed from
the previous groups’ written responses, they could connect the ideas with an arrow.
8. The carousel could be continued, if time permits, until each group has had the opportunity
to see and respond to each question.
9. A debrief afterwards is beneficial.
10. Carousel is also a useful evaluation tool. Questions might include: what have you learned
today? What was the most surprising/shocking/interesting/useful thing for you today?
What might you have done differently?

What is it?
This role-play strategy allows pupils to gain a quick synopsis of all the issues related to a
specific topic. It has the advantage over ‘standard’ role play in that it can be carried out
reasonably quickly. It might be particularly useful for younger or less able pupils since they
do not have to remain in role for very long. They also do not need to know a great deal of
information about the issue as their role card will simply state who they are and how they feel
about the particular scenario being discussed. See
