During the activity, children are not given pre-assigned roles within the group (as in cooperative learning structures) unless necessary. 

Creating a collaborative drawing should never be an end in itself – it should always serve a purpose, such as decorating the classroom, summarizing content, supporting storytelling or dramatization, etc.

Make sure that you always make the children draw a positive future only. Older children (aged 14+) can already start thinking about what could make the situation worse and plan their protection in advance (flexibility – conscious preparation for change – development).

Common challenges and suggested strategies:

• Challenge: Several children want to draw in the same spot.
  Tip: Encourage finding a joint solution, such as merging ideas or sharing the space.
• Challenge: Some children become sidelined or do not engage in the activity.
  Tip: It can help to address them directly and offer a smaller, clearly defined role to get them involved.
• Challenge: Someone is unwilling to change their original idea.
  Tip: Reminding them of the shared goal and encouraging flexible thinking may support collaboration.
• Challenge: A disagreement or conflict arises.
  Tip: Support children in finding their own peaceful solution to the disagreement.
