Welcome, Ananth,  
In Phaser 3, groups no longer contain children. Instead, [containers](https://labs.phaser.io/index.html?dir=game%20objects/container/&q=) are what you’ll want to use.

Hi jake,  
Thanks for your reply,can you show any example

In phaser2 we can create and add group like

sprite=game.add.group() //creation of group  
sprite.add() //Add child sprite to a group

this is what i want,is there any feature like this in phaser3
