What educators are saying

I have loved using these to start deeper conversations between my students who have known each other since there were 3 years old. This resource opened new doors for conversation.
My students love using this resource during morning meeting and as a brain break. This resource has been so helpful for starting discussions with a more reserved group of students. Thank you!

Description

Use these discussion starters as part of morning meeting, a writing center, work on writing, partner work, morning work, or as writing prompts.

Included are 108 discussion starters, as well as 9 blank cards that you can use to create your own. There are 9 prompts per page in black and white which makes for easy printing.

UPDATED 2/4/18 to include a digital version of each card which are perfect for projecting in your classroom. The digital discussion starters are easy to read, but include a colorful background and clip art of a student. The digital version is NOT meant to be printed.

I recommend printing on card stock and laminating for durability.

These discussion starters are perfect for building a sense of community in your classroom, building relationships among and with your students, and teaching critical speaking and listening skills.
