Toastmasters Table Topic Ideas for Impromptu Speaking - Mixed Words
Write words on small pieces of paper and put them all in a bag. Have each Table Topics speaker pick up 3 pieces of paper and make up a story that contains all 3 words in it. If your chapter meeting has a “Word of the Day”, you can also require that the speaker use the “Word of the Day” as well.) Generally, you should make variations of the word acceptable. So for example, if the word is “run”, then “running” may be used in the speaker’s story.
