The team has produced four other debate kits which provide teachers with all the resources needed to run a debate session on set topic with their students. Through debating various topics, students develop their discussions skills particularly speaking and listening.

 Written for older classes, three of the kits can be used with Years 5 and 6 primary school classes with little adaptation:

1.    Drugs in Sports

2.   Are we too clean?

3.   Cannabis

The other two need some adaptation for the age group e.g. use simpler vocabulary:

1.    IVF

2.   Stem cells
