Modes

Impromptu speech topics can be answered from personal experience with no research. Debate topics are two-sided statements. Writing and Drawing topics are open enough for a short piece in one sitting. Hard topics ask for an opinion or a comparison.

FAQ

How long should an impromptu speech be?

One to two minutes is common for practice. Use the 1 min or 2 min timer and start speaking once the timer is running.

Can I use this in a classroom?

Yes. Choose Kids or Students for age-appropriate topics, and use Fullscreen in your browser to show a topic on a projector.
