The #BigDebate in the latest #TheWeekJunior magazine asks if campfires should be banned. Follow-up questions to ask your kids could be: πŸ€” What do you think is the best way to educate people about campfire safety? πŸ”₯ What do you think it is about campfires that people most enjoy? 🚫 Can you think of any alternatives to a complete ban? 🎧 You can also listen to the Big Debate being discussed on our weekly podcast, The Week Junior Show (with @funkidsradio ), via the link in our bio. The aim of the Big Debate page is to present two sides of an issue fairly and objectively in order to stimulate discussion and enable our readers to make up their minds. We believe that readers being able to consider different views is an important skill. πŸ“Έ Β© Adobe Stock #SomethingWorthTalkingAbout #TalkingisGoodNews #Cairngorms #Debate
