Two-Minute Debate
Ages 12–15 · 15 minutes · You’ll need: A timer and a topic
Argue one side for two minutes, then swap and argue the other side just as well.
Set up
Let the device pick a topic and keep the time, or use your own.
How to play
- Pick a topic.
- Toss a coin to decide who argues for.
- Take turns: give reasons and examples until the timer ends.
- Swap sides and argue the opposite.
- Decide together which argument was strongest, and why.
What to say
- “What’s your best reason?”
- “Can you give an example?”
- “What would the other side say?”
Easier: One minute each, on a light topic.
Harder: Three minutes, a bigger question, and you must answer the other side’s best point.
End with one question: “Did arguing the other side change your mind at all?”
