Six Thinking Hats in Practice

The Six Thinking Hats is a simple framework, but it only clicks once students see it applied to a real question. This resource shows exactly how, across the curriculum.

What’s included:

• An infographic overview of the six hats (White, Red, Black, Yellow, Green and Blue)
• An information sheet with five worked examples across Maths, English, Science, HSIE and PDHPE, each running a debatable question through all six hats

How to use it:
Use the examples as a model, then swap in your own question. It works well for class discussion, writing tasks, debates and critical thinking activities, and the same structure suits almost any topic.

Great for: critical thinking, discussion and debate, writing, and extension for gifted and talented (HPGE) students.
