Active Listening Practice
Practise listening closely, asking questions to understand, and responding to others with respect. There can be more than one respectful response.
Responding thoughtfully
Choose a response that keeps the conversation open and shows respect.
1.A classmate says, “I would rather read a book than watch a film.” Which reply respectfully invites them to explain their view?
- That is a silly choice.
- What do you enjoy most about reading books?
- Films are always better.
- I am not listening.
2.A classmate suggests having a quiet reading corner. Complete the response stem with a reason: “I agree with that idea because …”
3.You missed part of what someone said about a game. Write a polite question asking them to say it another way.
4.Match each conversation purpose with a suitable sentence stem.
- Add to someone’s idea
- Disagree without being unkind
- Find out more
- Could you tell me more about…?
- I’d like to add something to that idea…
- I see it differently because…
Keeping a discussion going
Use open, respectful questions that invite someone to share more.
5.The discussion topic is: “Should the class have more time for outdoor activities?” Write three respectful questions that could help the group explore different ideas.
6.Choose one topic to discuss with a partner or group: What helps people feel welcome? Should children help plan class activities? How could the class make break times enjoyable for everyone? After listening to each other, record two ideas you heard.

7.Write a sentence stem you could use when you have a different opinion from someone.
8.Write a sentence stem you could use when you need someone to help you understand an idea.
