Pupils needing extra support: Could be grouped together for the activity, and have any available adults work with them. You may also want to provide them with the Activity: How do we expect our friends to behave? so they can sort the expectations and then add any extras that they can think of.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should be challenged to phrase all their expectations as positive statements.
