If you teach public speaking to teens—whether in a classroom, homeschool setting, or youth leadership club—you know that helping students find their voice is one of the most valuable skills you can teach.
But getting started can sometimes feel overwhelming.
What activities work best? How do you make public speaking approachable and even fun?
That’s why I created the Public Speaking Toolkit for Teens: Free Starter Pack — a collection of practical, ready-to-use tools you can use immediately to help students build confidence, organize their ideas, and connect with an audience.
And the best part? It’s completely free.
What’s Inside the Free Toolkit
This starter pack includes:
- Fear-busting strategies for managing speaking anxiety
- Simple outlines for organizing speeches
- Tips for powerful openings and closings
- Voice, eye contact, and body language techniques
- Fun group activities to make speaking practice engaging and low-pressure
These tools are adapted from my newly revised book, Speech Class for Teens, Revised: 24 Public Speaking Lessons for Class or Self-Study, available now on Amazon.
Whether you need a few quick warm-ups or a simple framework to structure an entire speech, this toolkit is designed to save you time and help your students shine.
Why Public Speaking Skills Matter Now More Than Ever
In a world where communication happens faster and more publicly than ever, the ability to speak clearly, confidently, and persuasively is an essential life skill—not just for future careers, but for everyday life.
By teaching teens the fundamentals of public speaking, you’re giving them:
- Confidence in their own ideas
- Tools to advocate for themselves and others
- The ability to lead, influence, and inspire
It’s a gift that will serve them for life.
