Working in small groups helps people to retain knowledge and develop skills more effectively than larger groups. 

Three to five members typically work best as this size group provides the best opportunities for everyone to participate.

Make sure the task is clear and instructions are provided.

Allow enough time so that participants can introduce themselves and complete the task required.

Have a facilitator visit each group to support.
