Agree / disagree cards can be used to achieve a quick, visual vote on an issue. They work well when a topic has two clear sides to choose from or when you want students to take a clear stance.
The cards can be themed to the discussion by using images or text linked to different opinions. You can also try ‘traffic light’ coloured cards, where red represents ‘against’, green ‘for’ and amber ‘not sure’.
To encourage honest voting, cards can be made so that only the teacher or facilitator can see the image.
