Children's groups often are overlooked as a context for the study of group communication. This is ironic given that children interact frequently in family, school, and peer groups, as well as in organized group activities.

This essay examines the group interaction opportunities of children, explores cooperative learning—a pedagogy centered around educational learning groups—and outlines potential research on children's group interaction.
