FAQs
What is Table Topics?
Table Topics is the impromptu speaking part of a Toastmasters club meeting. Someone asks a question nobody has seen in advance, and the person chosen speaks for one to two minutes, with green, amber and red lights showing the time. You can practise the same format on your own with our Table Topics Generator.
How long should a Table Topics answer be?
One to two minutes. Green shows at one minute, amber at a minute and a half, and red at two minutes. Aim to finish between green and red. Shorter settings here scale the lights to match.
How do you answer a Table Topics question?
Take a breath, pick one angle, then make your point, give a reason, tell one short example and come back to your point. One example is plenty for two minutes. How to answer Table Topics walks through it with examples.
Can I use your prompts at my club?
Yes, use them freely at your meetings. A mention of Learn to Speak Easy is always appreciated.
Is Learn to Speak Easy part of Toastmasters?
No. Learn to Speak Easy is independent and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Toastmasters International. Table Topics is their name for this part of a meeting.
