Debating different viewpoints enhances critical thinking and encourages children to articulate their thoughts. Vygotsky's scaffolding principle supports this by allowing peers to learn from each other during discussions.

Hold a debate where each team presents their points for 3 minutes. 5. After both sides present, allow 5 minutes for rebuttals. 6. Reflect as a group on the differing opinions and what you learned.
