2 simple activities for public speaking

July 8, 2021 0 Comments

Do you want to organize a contest where your participants will speak in public? Or are you a school teacher who wants children to overcome their fear of public speaking?

Well here are 2 cool public speaking activities that I am a fan of.

Public speaking activities 1

Turn face

In Volte Face, you are first given a theme. You have to start talking about it right away! But there is a catch. You MUST speak FOR the topic for 30 seconds. Then a bell rings. Then you speak AGAINST the issue for 30 seconds. Then a bell rings again. Speak again FOR the topic for 30 seconds. And then you speak AGAINST the topic for 30 seconds!

Volte Face not only provides amazing public speaking practice, it actually makes ANYONE who listens to you laugh and laugh! You see, you’re saying something for 30 seconds and then saying EXACTLY the opposite for 30 seconds. πŸ™‚

Now to make it more interesting, let me make you a Volte Face. I will speak spontaneously as I would speak on stage. That will give you a REAL idea of ​​Volte Face. πŸ™‚

My topic is: “I hate my final exams. :)”

START!

Final exams are the most pathetic things ever discovered. Suddenly you have to gobble up a lot of text and throw it up. The session tests are much better. And the damn thing is that I ALWAYS forget if I’m sleeping or awake during my end-of-term exams, because everything is blurry. If the final exams were a mosquito, I would kill it immediately by slapping it. To hell with final exams …

30 seconds up!

Whoever said the heroine was ecstatic was joking. Nothing beats the happiness of being in the middle of final exams. Oh, the pleasure of raiding things at night! If there were no final terms, who would study? I remember my travels through the fairy tale lands of transformers and generators in my first year. And yes, the final terms are much better than the classes: you can write and the teachers have to shut up and move. Better than them talking and you keeping quiet, right? Oh my final terms are great. πŸ™‚

30 seconds up!

But final exams are scary because …

πŸ™‚ Oh, Volte Face is fun. πŸ™‚ Try it.

And when you do, here are some cool themes you can use:

The ecstasy of devouring newspapers in the bathrooms

Monday morning is a blessing.

I love bed bugs.

: D

What arrangements do you need for Volte Face?

2 things: a microphone, and someone timing and ringing a bell after 30 seconds. Or that someone can clap if there is no doorbell. πŸ™‚

Public speaking activities 2

Extemporaneous speech

Maybe you already know.

You give the speaker a topic and give them a minute to think about it. Then after your minute of thinking is over, you should talk non-stop for 2 more minutes on the subject. That’s.

I think it is a wonderful way to put aside the fear of public speaking. After all, you are right in front of an audience and you have to think of things to say right in the moment!

An impromptu where you laugh is even better. πŸ™‚ So here are some topics.

Einstein, Newton and I went out yesterday.

I swear by Drunkard that I am not God.

I’m fine, well almost. πŸ™‚

..And then lowered the pumpkin.

The world is a cuboid.

I was so shy that I didn’t start talking until I was one and a half years old.

πŸ™‚

What arrangements do you need for an extempore?

Well, a microphone and a guy ringing the doorbell. This guy first rings the bell after a minute to tell the speaker to speak. Then it rings after 2 minutes to tell the speaker to stop talking.

Why not try these two public speaking activities today? I mean, just for the fun of it? πŸ™‚
