Summary
"One Minute Speeches" has you giving a one-minute speech on a topic. You speak off the cuff, keeping it coherent or entertaining for the full stretch on whatever subject you're handed. There are a few versions to play with, including foundation, advanced, and a "take over topic" version.
How to Play
- Grab a topic for the speech.
- A player delivers a speech on that topic.
- The speech runs for one minute.
Required Materials
- You'll need a topic for the speech. And a timer to track the minute can come in handy.
Purpose
This one's all about public speaking and building skills. You'll grow your spontaneity, your focus, and your ability to speak clearly under pressure.
Variations
- Can be done with longer times (e.g., 5 minutes) and preparation time.
- End Line variation: Each speaker tells a story ending with a predetermined line.
- For/Against variation: Speakers speak both for and against a given topic.
