Classroom Debates on Gaming

5th Mar 2026

The children from 5th Class recently took part in a series of classroom-based debates on the topic of gaming. They debated the following motions:

  • Too Much Gaming is Bad for You
  • Most Video Games Are Geared Towards Boys
  • Children Should be Allowed to Stay up Late Playing Video Games
  • Children Should be Allowed to Play Video Games in School

It was wonderful to hear the children speak with such passion and enthusiasm, presenting thoughtful and constructive arguments on each of the motions. Every child had the opportunity to stand up and speak in front of their peers, as well as respond to questions from the audience.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are already looking forward to their next debate.
