Debate Club — Argue Your Case
Child picks a position on a kid-appropriate topic and argues for it with reasoning and evidence, while the parent plays the opposing side. The agent guides the parent through a structured mini-debate, observing argumentation structure, evidence use, ability to address counterarguments, and persuasive language. This activity reveals advanced language skills at the intersection of logic, rhetoric, and social communication.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
No materials needed. Sit comfortably facing each other. Let the child choose a topic they feel strongly about — passion makes for better arguments. The parent takes the opposite position regardless of personal opinion. Keep the tone playful and respectful. This is a practice debate, not a real argument. Both sides should smile and have fun.
How it works
The 4-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
