Follow the instructions below to set up and facilitate the game, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to speak, listen, and learn from differing viewpoints.\n\n## Game Setup\n\n1. **Arrange the Classroom:** Organize the seating into small groups or pairs to allow for intimate discussion and ease of movement during role rotations.

\n\n2. **Prepare Debate Topics:** Write several debate topics or statements on cards. Each topic should be simple yet thought-provoking (e.g., \"School uniforms improve student focus\" or \"Technology enhances learning\").

\n\n3. **Assign Roles:** For each debate round, assign roles for each participant: one side to present arguments and the other to listen and then share reflections.

\n\n## Game Rules\n\n- **Respect First:** All students must use respectful language and listen actively. Interruptions and disrespectful comments are not allowed.

\n\n- **Time Limit:** Use a timer to ensure each round lasts about 2-3 minutes. This helps keep the game dynamic and makes sure all voices are heard.

\n\n- **Role Rotation:** After each round, switch roles so that every student has the opportunity to both speak and listen.

\n\n- **Feedback:** After each debate round, the listening side should provide feedback on the strength of the arguments and note what respectful behaviors they observed.

\n\n## Instructions for Teachers\n\n1. **Introduction:** Start by explaining the purpose of the game—practicing respectful debate and the importance of listening. Emphasize that the goal is not necessarily to 'win' the debate, but to refine communication and reasoning skills.

\n\n2. **Topic Presentation:** Present the debate topic clearly. Allow a minute for preparation before initiating the discussion.

\n\n3. **Debate Rounds:** Monitor each group closely. Walk around to ensure every discussion stays respectful and productive. Remind students of the rules if necessary.

\n\n4. **Time Management:** Use a visible timer so that students know when to switch roles. This helps maintain an organized pace throughout the activity.

\n\n5. **Wrap-Up:** After all debate rounds, bring the class together for reflection. Ask questions such as:
\n- What communication strategies were most effective?
\n- How did listening impact the overall discussion?
\n- What did you learn about expressing your ideas respectfully?

\n\n## Reflection Points for Students\n\n- **Self-Reflection:** Consider how well you listened and whether you felt respected during your turn to speak.

\n- **Peer Feedback:** Share observations with a partner about what worked well and what could be improved in future debates.

\n- **Future Application:** Think about how these respectful debating techniques can be applied in everyday discussions, both in and out of the classroom.

\n\nThis activity not only builds debate skills but also reinforces the value of respect and empathy in communication. Enjoy engaging with your peers and learning from each other!\n\n---\n\n*Remember: Effective communication is built on the foundation of mutual respect and active listening!
