HOW TO PLAY
1
Split the group into two sides facing each other, each choosing a spokesperson.
2
Draw a lighthearted debate topic, such as 'cats versus dogs' or 'tea versus coffee.'
3
Spokespersons take turns making a flowery, formal-sounding argument, passing the prop hat between speeches.
4
The audience listens for wit, rhythm, and confident delivery rather than logic alone.
5
After several rounds, the audience applauds for their favorite side to decide the winner.
