Description

Find your voice and have fun learning how to build a case. In Intro to Debate, children use simple two-team and one-on-one formats inspired by Public Forum. Each class includes warm-ups, speaking games and short practice rounds on kid-friendly topics. Students learn to organize ideas into clear openings, reasons, examples and conclusions; ask and answer respectful questions; take simple notes; and give kind, useful feedback. We coach confident body language, clear tone and active listening so every voice is heard. Shy speakers are welcomed and supported to try new roles at a comfortable pace. The session finishes with a friendly family showcase where participants demonstrate what they have learned. No experience required
