130 Awesome Speech Topics for Kids

Amanda Green was born in a small town in the west of Scotland, where everyone knows everyone. I joined the Toastmasters 15 years ago, and I served in nearly every office in the club since then. I love helping others gain confidence and skills they can apply in every day life.

Kids always do best when they are interested in what they are asked to talk about. But every child has different interests, and therein lies the challenge – selecting awesome speech topics that kids will want to talk about.

A few points you want to consider:

• If the topic is too “adult,” they may be too young to cope with what they find.
• If the topic is too simplistic, their growing sense of awareness may be stunted.

• Keep in mind the goal of the speech – do you want to educate, to entertain, to express ideas, or something else?
• Consider topic that suits child’s character: someone who has an extensive imagination won’t like the same topics as someone who is more factual and practical.

Here is a broad range of  speech topics for kids you can choose from.

Family and friends, miscellaneous, more miscellaneous….

If you are selecting a topic together, sit down with your child and read through this list together and make your own list of which topics stood out to your child . Suggest alternatives or adaptations to some topics. The goal is to get their juices flowing. You want this to be a choice that they are comfortable with.

Help them decide by reminding them who their audience will be and what the occasion is . This will help determine what is appropriate and what the audience will want to hear. Your child probably wouldn’t want to talk about Barbie at a formal function or to an audience of mostly boys.

All that’s left to do is prepare and practice, because we all know – practice makes perfect!

To keep minds from wandering off, include some interactive games or activities in the lesson. For example, if you conducted a lesson on the respiratory system, you could ask them to practice breathing techniques.

Maintain eye contact with your students, and you’ll get instant feedback on how interested they are in the interactive presentation.

Make School Presentation Visuals Without the Hassle of Making Them From Scratch

School presentations, when done right, can help teachers engage their classes and improve students’ education effectively by presenting information using the right presentation topic.

Fun speech topics for kids of all ages

60 suggestions for humorous speeches.

By:  Susan Dugdale  

Below are  60 light-hearted fun speech topic ideas arranged in groups of 15.

They span telling stories, exaggerated for comic effect, based on our own behavior - e.g. "How to procrastinate like a professional", to creative absurdities like, "Paw readings for dogs. What do those canine's lines reveal? Madame Flo reports on her research." ☺

15 fun speech topics

• more funny speech topics
• another 15 humorous topics
• And my  last set of 15 fun speech ideas

Find your own fun speech topic from one of mine

Treat a topic suggestion as a prompt to think about yourself and the situations you've been in. Real stories from our own lives are often the most appealingly amusing of them all!

These don't have to be rollicking-fall-off-the-chair-roll-on-the-floor-cry-with-laughter events. An ordinary collection of foibles mixed with the silliness of everyday life is enough to make an audience smile - mostly because they recognize the truth and see elements of themselves in what you're sharing!

For instance, the first topic in my first group of fifteen is, 'How to procrastinate like a professional - ten top tips'.

How does that topic, procrastination, apply to you? Or to others close to you?

When a speech is due is that a cue to go for a run, a very long one, because we all know exercise is an important part of ensuring optimum brain function? When you come back you'll be full of bright ideas and get right into it.

Is it time to clean the fridge? Or chat to a long lost second cousin? Or party up large because the deadline is still a few days away? (That's plenty of time!)

Acknowledging and laughing in a kindly way at ourselves is funny. We're human. We all try to fool ourselves - some of us more than others.

Take the truths you find, add imagination, a little exaggeration for comedic effect, and write!

At the foot of the page you'll find links to help you craft your speech. Sadly, intentionally "funny" speeches rarely are, without effort! 

• How to procrastinate like a professional - ten top tips.
• Five sure-to-impress excuses for not handing in your homework (getting to work on time, coming home on time...)
• How to tell if your cat (dog, goldfish...) needs counseling.
• How to successfully annoy your parents (co-workers, friends...)
• The top three strangest hobbies.
• The secrets your choice of hobby reveal.
• How to get others to do your work for you without them knowing.
• Five ways to test if your friends are really your friends.
• How to successfully and spectacularly fail your exams.
• My secret life as Mr Magic (Miss Universe...)
• How to be the favorite person of everybody.
• Why junk food is good for you.
• Why lying well can be useful.
• How to look intelligent.

Kickin' It In Kindergarten

Oral Presentations for First Grade Giveaway

This snow day has been nice and productive! Pretty much because I am trapped inside of my house 🙂

I have been wanting to make an Oral Presentation unit for First Grade and I finally made it happen! Once students leave Kindergarten, I still think it’s important that they hone those speaking and listening skills in 1st. I have also added another important skill to this unit which I think is important and that is asking on topic questions. Once students present, students that are in the “audience” should be able to ask questions to piggy-back off of the information that was provided. This is something that is in this unit that I didn’t include in the Kindergarten one. There is also more content to these presentations. More of them are research based where students have to present information that they found.

For each month, here is what they will be presenting on:

August- My Summer Break September-My Family Tree October- Being a Good Citizen November- State Symbols December-Holidays Around the World January- Animal Report February- President’s March- Favorite Author April- Weather Report May- Movin’ on Up

Also, I included an editable box so you can go ahead and type in the due date for each month.

Some of the presentations my kids have given this year are all about their favorite toys, favorite place to visit and about their holiday traditions.

I’m giving away 3 of these here…instead of doing giveaways on every single source of social media :).

If you don’t want to wait for the giveaway, you can grab it on sale until Sunday!

I think this would help students become a strong presenter and assist with developing early research skills. Confidence is so important and if we can instill it at a young age this will benefit them in the long run 🙂

This will help my students use complete sentences when talking and participate more in class.

I am truly amazed at all the wonderful projects you have created for first grade! These are awesome! I would love to use this product in my classroom!

I think that presentations would keep my students engaged. They love to get in front of each other and share (about any and everything) but this would give them a chance to share while keeping it aligned to curriculum. I also know that kids sometimes learn better from each other. When I have students who struggle with a particular concept, I sometimes pair them with a student who does understand and it helps them so much learning from each other than me at times. I know they would stay engaged and it would be awesome for them to do the teaching. It is also just simply great practice for them to get used to for when entering the higher grades where they will be required to present. It is also a CCSS that students be able to speak audibly and express thoughts clearly. I am a first year teacher and I would love this product so much to enhance my instruction!

I would absolutely LOVE this!

I like presentations because students have to think through their writing a lot more. They have to think about if their words make sense and how others will receive it. Its a good motivator for students who tend to say they edited their work when they maybe “skimmed” it.

This product would help my students to improve their writing, listening, and speaking skills.

This would be fantastic for the speaking and listening standards! This is an important life skill.

It would help my students organize their thoughts and gain confidence speaking in front of others.
