The ordinary formalism for classical field theory is applied to dynamical group field theories. Focusing first on a local group field theory over one copy of SU(2) and then, on more involved nonlocal theories (colored and noncolored) defined over a tensor product of the same group, we address the issue of translation and dilatation symmetries and the corresponding Noether theorem. The energy momentum tensor and dilatation current are derived and their properties identified for each case.
