Drama games that give children a first, safe experience of disagreeing in public.
From September 2028, citizenship is statutory in primary schools. Most primary teachers have never taught it.
The content is the easy part. The harder part is knowing what to do when a Year 4 class starts arguing about something real, and someone says something that makes the room go quiet.
This INSET is practical. Staff play each game, then take it apart to see how they would run it with their own class.
Children answer a statement by playing one of four cards. Before long, “I think” has grown into an argument, and disagreeing is simply another move.
Every game is played first, then unpicked.
Citizenship, oracy and PSHE can share the same activities instead of competing for timetable space.
Whole primary staffs; citizenship, PSHE and curriculum leads; trusts and clusters planning for 2028.
