Determine the purpose of the debate: before the debate, determine the debate topic, which should be relevant, easy for children to understand, and at the same time ensure that it will not cause controversy and adverse consequences. Debate can be decided according to children's preferences and learning content. For example, "who is the greatest person in history" and "which is cuter, a puppy or a kitten".
Draw lots to decide the pros and cons: before the debate, draw lots to decide which group represents the pros and cons.
Team grouping: each team has 6-8 people, and the advantages and disadvantages are equally distributed. Each group chooses a debate representative as the main speaker to help the group members provide supplementary arguments at different stages.
Speech: The pros and cons give speeches at preset time respectively. The positive side starts with opinions and important arguments. Then, the other party asked questions. The pros need to answer the questions of the opponents one by one and express their views again. After the affirmative speech, the opponent can criticize and refute the affirmative arguments and answers, and express his own views and arguments again.
