What is role?

A role is like being part of a team that plays a special game everyone knows the rules to.

Imagine you and your friends are playing a game where each person has a job to do, one person is the leader, another passes out toys, and someone else keeps track of time. Each job is a role. Just like in your classroom, where the teacher gives instructions and students listen and learn, everyone knows what they need to do because of their role.

A role tells you what actions you should take and how others should treat you. Like when you're playing house, one person is the mom, another is the dad, and you’re the kid. You know what each person does based on their role, so the game runs smoothly.

Roles make games and activities more interesting because they help everyone understand how to work together. It's like having a recipe for your favorite snack, if everyone knows their part, the snack comes out just right!
