Speaking Nonsense
Subject: Literacy
(This idea was contributed by Kelsey)
Age Range: 7 to 11

Public Speaking is a critical part of our children's education. So why not make it fun, and a little interesting, too!

This game, called "Speaking Non-Sense," is a great way to get kids' bad speaking habits out of the way, and good ones in!

Here is what you do:

1) Choose a student.

2) Give them a topic: It can be anything from Spam to the Holocaust. Things that you are learning about work great as topics.

3) They must talk for 2 minutes straight about their topic. They cannot say "Um", etc. or use the word "and" more than twice. They must also keep eye contact with the audience at all times and use all public speaking skills.

4) The winner or winners are those who can complete this task using all the rules.
