28 public speaking games
Fun skill and confidence building activities for kids of all ages
How many of you are looking for ways to help others develop confidence and public speaking skills? Have you tried games?
Many years ago I taught a class of self-conscious adolescents who loathed having to make speeches. Standing in front of their peers to speak was a living nightmare. Something to avoided, if at all possible.
To try to minimize their pain I devised a game I called One Minute Speeches. And very soon, as if by magic, those kids were leaping out of their seats, racing to the front of the classroom and talking up a storm!
Building on that success I experimented with all sorts of other activities: all with the same end goal - to build public speaking skills and confidence while having fun.
The best of them are in an ebook: Public Speaking Games - from fear to fun in 28 ways which I’ve just finished revising.
If you want activities, have a look. It comes with detailed instructions on setting up and running the games, along with the resources you need to play them.
Happy teaching. Happy speaking,
Susan
PS. I hope everything and everyone is well in your world.
