Here is a facilitation sheet that provides an overview of the steps involved in a Community of Philosophical Inquiry (CPI). These are the steps you can follow after, for example, reading a story to the children.
Here you can experiment with a philosophical inquiry mandala. This is not final in any way and should just serve to get you and your fellow inquirers going! Try to make your own and share them with us!
Take a look at this concept sheet on friendship. Below you will also find an empty one to try out yourself.

I am a teacher of Primary school students and I have been looking for resources for years. I would like to see religion courses replaced with philosophy courses but I can’t admit this to any administrator. Any resource would be much appreciated. I was so pleased to hear about this Institute. Thanks to CBC, of course. Barbara
I am interested in teaching resources to better facilitate Socratic seminars, strategic questioning and critical thinking responses in the classroom. Any resources you can recommend for assist would be greatly appreciated.
