Ways to Teach Public Speaking to Kids

 


Public Speaking is one of the most essential skills that children should learn.

Whether they are speaking in front of their class or a group of audience, it is a

skill that children must learn. 


This skill can help in removing their stage fears and encourages them to become

great orators. Here are a few ways on how you can teach public speaking to

your kids.


  • Kids enjoy activities that are relatable 

Kids have a contagious enthusiasm to try new things. Choose relevant

topics that they might enjoy speaking on. Example: The need to have one

free period or why the recess should be 10 minutes longer. Such sessions can

help kids in sharing their thoughtful responses and helps in reducing their

anxiety of being unfamiliar with a topic.  


  • Offer Examples

Once you have chosen the topic, you must review the well-formatted speech.

Show your kids videos of some famous speakers to learn and get inspired.

Introduce them to various examples and ask them to note down the various

techniques that are used by the speaker to introduce the topic. You must also

ask them to notice the visuals, pacing and non-verbal cues used by the

speaker.  


  • Make them practice harder    

Your kids will feel comfortable with more practice. Ask them to practice their

speeches in front of at least two people and take their feedback. You can tell

them how to improve their thought process and assess them through 5Cs

and 5Es. This will give them more confidence to perform. 


5Cs

  • Confidence

  • Conviction 

  • Clarity 

  • Control 

  • Customization 


5Es

  • Enjoy 

  • Explore

  • Expression 

  • Eye Contact 

  • Engage your audience 


  • Keep at it 

Continue doing these steps until your kids are confident enough to conquer

their stage fears. Give them more and more topics to keep practicing and

keep getting better at it.
