Top Tips for great discussions

• "You said, I think..." - after the first person speaks, the next person has to begin each of their points with "You said..." and gives a summary of what the person has just said before adding, "I think...", and gives their own contribution.  This is a simple way of making paired discussions responsive.
• Coaching questions  - use the prompts below to push for deeper thinking in group/family discussions

Can you say why?

Can you say more?

How do you mean?

• Wandering wonder - listen out for new questions arising from what you have talked about and see where it takes you.
• Say it in Seven -as a group, boil down your best answer/reason to a sentence of exactly seven words.
