Traditional tales can get children thinking and talking

Remember that well-known/traditional tales can provide a great stimulus for talk and Philosophy for Children.

For example, Goldilocks and the Three Bears might prompt thinking around all sorts of concepts including exploring, risk and obedience.

One technique that can help children develop questions from the stimulus is giving them some question stems, as shown in the image. You can find a list of useful P4C question stems on my website at www.topsypage.com/blog/2019/6/26/useful-question-stems-for-p4c
