Ideas for a club


Question Posted Sunday November 14 2004, 4:08 pm

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?

like the previous guy said, but have you and your sis start the play, and tell two people that they'll be playing the same roles in a few minutes, (keep it short for a play) and then they get up and act it out, and another pair goes based on what the ones before them did, over and over again... that way they get to practice speaking, but at the same time, they have to listen. film it so later you can show the differences between the first performance and the last, what got added by the groups, what got dropped, etc.

uh, a play becuase that helps with everything. it improves speeches, nervousness, the people in the audience have to listen in order to know whats going on and you can ask them questions what was going on in the play. i hope that helped

i think for the first meeting you should have people bring there favorite book (a short book) and have them read a chapter or like 2 pages. Them have them talk one by one to see if they liked the book or why they did not like the book.
Good luck !!!

To let people get to know eachother, play this game called Two Truths and a lie. 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.

How about making a survey for everyone to take like favorite food, color, bands, etc. etc. And they have to get in a group of 4 people with people they dont know..and talk about what they wrote down for their survey. 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!
