Description
Philosophy for Young Children: A Practical Guide is a comprehensive resource for teachers looking to introduce philosophy to children. Written by a professor of philosophy and a primary school teacher, this book provides 36 detailed session plans that have been successfully tried with young children from the age of three upwards. The enquiries explore a range of stimulating philosophical questions, including fairness, friendship, inclusion, sharing, right and wrong, and beauty. The book includes all the necessary materials, such as stories, drawings, and photographs, to carry out the enquiries directly with your children. Each step-by-step enquiry is designed to be easy to follow, with clear guidance on the topic, aim, stimuli, questions, possible answers, and ideas for summarising and extending the discussion. This complete resource will enable you to introduce philosophy to your children quickly and with confidence, making it an ideal tool for Early Years or primary school teachers.
