Advanced Debate Game Lab | No-Prep Critical Thinking Games | ClaimLore

$9.99

Debate class going quiet the moment you say "let's discuss"? The Advanced Debate Game Lab gives older or more experienced students ready-made games that build practical argumentation skills through real reasoning practice, rather than performance.

What is included

  • Ready-to-run games that develop argumentation fundamentals
  • Step-by-step instructions: you only need to print, with no extra preparation
  • Teacher notes explaining the critical thinking objective behind each game
  • Scalable activities, from five-minute warm-ups to full-period lessons

Reasoning frameworks

The games use five reasoning lenses: Fairness, Consequences, Practical, Values and Rights. Students steelman positions they disagree with and defend claims under real questioning.

Who it is for

Debate club coaches, critical thinking instructors, ELA and social studies teachers, and homeschooling parents (grades 6-9) looking for structured, pre-made practice materials.

Format: digital PDF download.

Hi, I'm Jerin Parker. I'm a debate and public speaking coach with almost ten years of teaching experience. Through competition, I earned the National Forensic League Quadruple Ruby, and I competed in debate and public speaking through high school and university in the TFA, UIL and NFL systems. I now coach World Scholar's Cup and SPAR debate. My ClaimLore resources use the Steelman Method: students argue the other side's case before making their own, so they learn to reason, listen, and speak with confidence.
