My sister is organizing a public speaking club, for people who want to improve on their speeches, nervousness of speaking in front of a group of people, listening skills, etc. It doesn't begin until 2 weeks so we have a lot of planning to do, and it last for about 2 hours. Do you guys have any ideas of what we should do at the 1st meeting to make it fun, interesting, and to let people like it?

Good luck !!! [ cutebrunette's advice column | Ask cutebrunette A Question ]

Let's say you and I were playing, I would say two true things about myself, like I have my drivers liscense and I have one cat. Then my lie could be like, i love anchovie pizza. The people playing the game have to guess what the lie is.
You could also give everyone a piece of paper and ask them to write down what they would like to improve about their own public speaking. You can also have a snack and just try to get to know eachother.

Pus everyone should introduce themselves..and maybe have snacks and soda and stuff. Oh you could also split up the people in 2 teams and play sharades. That helps with doing stuff in front of people..you know? Hope I helped a little..good luck with the club! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
