How to use the Debate Topic Picker

These are chosen to have a genuine case on both sides and to sit inside a student’s own experience, which is what stops a debate collapsing into repeated opinions. Assigning the side randomly as well is where the real learning happens.

  • Spin this wheel for the topic, then a Yes or No wheel to assign which side each team must argue — including the side they disagree with.
  • Give teams five minutes of preparation and a two-minute limit each; short debates stay sharp.
  • Add topics from current lessons so the debate reinforces the syllabus rather than sitting apart from it.
