Thinking Skills: De Bono's Thinking Hats

 

We use De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats in our integrated units of work, and literacy lessons.

• White Hat - facts
• Yellow Hat - positives
• Red Hat - feelings and emotions
• Black Hat - negatives
• Blue Hat - thinking processes
• Green Hat - creativity

Students have to put on their 'Thinking Hats' during group discussions or during question time.

I select a different hat each week for Show and Tell, and the students have to ask questions based on that week’s hat colour.
