Yeah group activities are definitely busy work. They take extra time for the students to figure out how to work together (i.e. one or two students to do the other two or three students' work for them) which buys time for the teacher to grade papers or whatever, but it's not integrated into a way to teach people how to actually co-operate effectively so it's wasted effort for all parties involved. It just sounds woke.
