Junior Learning 50 Debating Activities

Build confident, articulate thinkers with the Junior Learning 50 Debating Activities — a set of 50 double-sided activity cards that teaches children aged 7 and above how to think quickly and inquisitively on a variety of unprepared topics. Through a series of fun, imaginative, and interactive activities, children develop the public speaking and communication skills they need to express their ideas clearly, listen actively, and argue their point with confidence.

From impromptu speeches to structured debates, each card presents a new challenge that pushes children to think on their feet, consider different perspectives, and communicate persuasively — skills that are invaluable both in and out of the classroom. The included contents card doubles as a check-off list for easy progress tracking. Perfect for oral language stations, SPHE lessons, debating clubs, or whole-class speaking and listening activities.
