In the first bumper issue of P4C Support…

Dinner with a witch, or a frog for dinner?

A colourful “would you rather” resource accessible to the youngest children, with teaching notes that suggest how you can use the exercise as a springboard for discussion.

When is equality unfair?

A complete P4C enquiry plan including a story about a teacher who desperately tries to treat all his pupils the same.

The story usually leads to juicy questions about fairness, a central issue for children.

Is it better to be a child or an adult?

Swap places if you think…

Children swap places across the circle to show their response to this list of questions, from traditional philosophy to more quirky and playful ideas.

Also included in the first issue, a key document on “Thinkers’ Games”, the shared underlying structure of some of the resources in this and future issues. You’ll soon begin to develop your own activities using this structure to investigate challenging concepts and stimulate thoughtful dialogue in the classroom.
