Included are six pages of debate topics (!) divided into categories such as: debate topics for younger students; intermediate debate topics; debate topics for older or advanced students; funny debate topics; and controversial debate topics. Nearly 200 debate topics in all! Also included are instructions for the basic game, a quick guide to the rules of debate, plus four additional suggestions for using the debate topics!
Sample debate topics:
- Beauty pageants do more harm than good.
