Stakeholder Debate Game
• Set up a topic for the class to debate (e.g. Secondary students
should stay at school for lunch)
• Ask students to list the stakeholders involved (e.g. parents,
teachers, students, janitors, restaurant owners nearby)
This role play activity encourages students to
think out of the box and consider issues from
multiple perspectives.
• Write the names of stakeholders on index cards. Give each
student a card. Students of the same role form a group
• Ask students to make a list of arguments for or against the
situation, based on the stakeholder they represent
• Each stakeholder group takes turn to present their arguments.
Other groups can ask questions to challenge their stance.
