This activity could be used as an ice-breaker. It will work well without pupils having any prior knowledge of the topic.

You will need to have copies of the three different Learner Resource cards.

The activity 1. Explain which practical activity that the learners will be participating in i.e. basketball.

2. Split the group into three teams. This could be a mixture of participants/coaches/spectators.

3. Hand each group one of the resource cards. Allow an appropriate amount of time for each team to read the information and plan their tactics for the game. Explain that each team member is to behave as the card asks them to for the duration of the match.

5. Play a second game between two different teams without any further conversation.

6. Discuss as a group what happened. Allow pupils to work out which group was displaying each behaviour type.

7. Using the definitions below, discuss the three behaviour types. Make clear distinctions between positive and negative deviance. Use this discussion to get learners to differentiate between the two types of deviance.

Extension activities/questions Changing to an individual activity and giving pupils a free rein over their chosen behaviour type could be a useful extension task. Learners will recognise each behaviour type more quickly the more times they try them out, but the learning will become embedded.
