About Discussion Skills Lab

Choose supplied responses to prepare relevant contributions, build on ideas, challenge fairly and summarise viewpoints. This game does not assess live speaking, listening or participation. Correct answers can trigger celebrations. Feedback and retry options depend on the game.

Curriculum purpose

Learning objective: Choose spoken-language moves that support collaborative discussion and debate.

Curriculum anchor: England spoken language: participate actively in collaborative conversations, articulate and justify answers, consider viewpoints and use discussion and debate.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

As an optional follow-up, invite the learner to try a response aloud or using their usual communication method, then discuss why it helps. Take a break when you need one.
