Primary age group discussion starters
I’m looking for suggestions for questions to go on the new set of cards. Your question/discussion starter should fit into one of the following four categories and be suitable for children aged 7-11.
DIAMONDS
The diamonds contain questions about you. These questions aim to get children talking about their identity, what’s important to them and how they see themselves. An example from the current pack: “If you could live moment of your life all over again, which one would it be?”
SPADES
The spades are about others, and contain questions designed to get children talking about others in their lives, who is important to them and the impact others have had on them. An example from the current pack: “If you had to describe each member of your family as a brand name chocolate bar, which ones would they be?”
HEARTS
The heart cards feature questions about the world, and get discussions going about fair trade, travel and various issues and needs in our world. An example from the current pack: “What cause would you be prepared to stand up for and support?”
CLUBS
The club cards are all about questions of belief. Get discussions going about prayer, doubt, possibilities and faith.An example from the current pack: “Would you pray if you were in trouble? What difference do you think it would make?”

i work in a primary school as a TA, often there is conflict.
so my comment would be one aimed at children taking responsibility for their own actions-because it’s always someone elses fault.
“what could you do different towards someone that might prevent a falling out?”
“what good, kind or nice thing have you done today that has helped someone else?”
