Classroom Discussion Cards

These ‘circle time’ Peer-to-Peer Discussion Questions are designed to encourage students to explore and share ideas on how to handle ‘tricky’ situations they or their peers might experience.

How to Use These Cards

Establish an Empathy Classroom

Before beginning, remind the class that:

• We listen respectfully when another person is speaking.
• We never use unkind words or ‘put-downs’.
• Our classroom is a bully-free zone.
• Our classroom is a safe place for all.
• Everyone is equal in our classroom.
• We respect each other and their ideas.
• We are kind and caring to one another.

Peer-to-peer Group Discussion

Read the questions aloud. Allow students to discuss answers in pairs before sharing with the wider circle.

Support

Ensure students know they can speak to you or one of their trusted adults privately if a topic raises personal concerns or difficult emotions.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow up safe, informed, and empowered. Your translation can help.
