EC "DEBATE plus DISCUSSION" GAME

In this game first of all, the two teams come face to face before the class. They should then select a topic for the debate.

Some of the topics that can be used here:

Hostel Life - Home Life

City Life - Village Life

Love Marriage - Arranged Marriage  

Western Culture - Indian Culture

Vegetarianism - Non Vegetarianism

Joint Family - Nuclear Family

In this debate first a team takes a stand(supports an option) and makes a group speech. After this speech lasting for a minute, the other team asks questions regarding the logic of arguments favouring that particular idea. Points are given to the two teams depending upon the rationality/logical sense of their arguments.

On the second day the teams are merged and they discuss how they can have a win-win situation wherein one can have the best of both or how to create the best alternative incorporating the best qualities of both the options.

So there was a lot of self-satisfaction and self-motivation while interacting with the audience.
