Ready... set... debate!
Bring the Top Table debates into your classroom.
BBC Northern Ireland is delivering a free copy of The Top Table game to every post-primary school in Northern Ireland.
Each pack contains debate topics, character cards, a poster and instructions.
You can even turn the classroom into a TV studio with our How to Film guide.
How to use in relation to the curriculum
The resource has been created to help support the Controlled Assessment Tasks for Unit 2: Speaking and Listening of the CCEA syllabus for GCSE English, but it can easily be used across subjects, such as Learning for Life and Work, Citizenship and Employability. It can also be used in an extra-curricular setting to teach students about debating, or help develop soft skills needed in the workplace such as presentation skills or critical thinking.
We hope you enjoy your pack and get a lively debate going in your classroom! Should you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it – just drop us an email at [email protected].
