19. More about Philosophy for Children (P4C)
for pupils:
In Philosophy for Children, we explore puzzling questions that really make us think!
When you discuss a philosophical question, try to give reasons for your ideas. For example, ‘I think that tribes should be left alone because…’
Do you agree or disagree with what other people think?
Can you say why?
Sample questions:
Can good people do bad things?
Is it ever OK to lie?
What is a friend?
Can you come up with your own philosophical questions?

20. More about Philosophy for Children (P4C) Philosophy for Children is:
for teachers:
Philosophy for Children is:
A worldwide movement
A pedagogy – the practice of enquiring together
Students creating philosophical questions
Democratic – students are responsible for the focus of enquiry and the community
Time and value given to thinking and reflection
Transferable across subjects
An approach that yields cognitive, social and emotional benefits
SAPERE trains teachers to do P4C with their class. You can book a Level 1 Foundation course or commission an INSET for your school. Find out more on our website
In P4C we start with a stimulus, such as a VotesforSchools topic, story, film clip etc. Pupils create philosophical questions together, then the whole group decides (usually by voting) which question it would most like to explore.
Through regular practice of philosophical dialogue children learn to listen carefully, develop thinking and reasoning skills and value the ideas of others. Regular P4C sessions help children to build their self-confidence and social skills too.
