"Are we really giving children the 'how to' in public speaking? How to use their voice, use gestures, tone of voice, pitch and pace. Are they (children) being clear, concise and coherent in their communication? We have been using the Pitch Perfect program since last year and continue this year with 30+ students. It gives us a clear framework to work to."

Program Overview

Public speaking is one of the most important but dreaded forms of communication. However, the art of public speaking is slowly being eroded. Is it the use of excessive technology, lack of practice or lack of knowledge, the lockdown? Whatever the reason, the fact is clear – children lack the ability to communicate their thoughts effectively so they can influence, educate or inform.

And public speaking is so much more than that….

It gives children a clearer understand of how powerful verbal communication can be. It gives children confidence and it gives children a voice. Every child has a message but they simply don’t know how to convey it.

But how can you bring public speaking easily, professionally and effectively into your school so as many students as possible can benefit?

The methodology and approach used in the Pitch Perfect program is well proven. Imtiaz (program creator and presenter) has been a public speaker for over a decade and is a past President of the highly decorated North Cheshire Speakers Club, based in the United Kingdom and a member of VASTA (Voice and Speech Trainers Association).

He’s been training children and adults for many years on how to be effective communicators and he’s condensed all of that knowledge and experience in to an easy-to-follow program for younger students.

This program is perfect for beginners aged 8 and upwards. We highly recommend schools to use this program for Year 4-9 / Grade 3-10. The level one program is successfully being used as a stand alone lesson (full teacher resource pack with lesson plans included) and as an extra curricular activity. The choice is yours.

But how does the program work?

Pitch Perfect is a very practical program that gives students the most opportunities to get up and speak from the get-go. Every module contains fun speaking games, examples of good speeches and practical guidance to help younger speakers understand, learn and apply this knowledge. Check out the learning path here.

And that’s one of the reasons it’s so successful in developing confident communicators from the youngest of ages. Purposeful practice, with professional guidance and practical, useable tips and advice make this a fun way to introduce public speaking to kids. 

Not only will your students actually enjoy the experience, they and their parents will thank you for it!

WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?

The Pitch Perfect Public Speaking for Kids Level One program is aimed at beginners and students who may have a need to communicate better but are not sure how.

WHAT'S COVERED IN EACH MODULE?

Click the ‘+‘ button to reveal a brief overview of what’s covered in each module of this course….

In the very first module students are welcomed on to the program and introduced to public speaking. 

Anxiety, fear and over thinking are just a few of the challenges public speaking presents. So in this module students learn how to just get up in front of a small audience and perhaps say a few words. Whilst also learning how to control their anxiety and beat their fears.

Video + Quiz

In this module students work as a group to and play a fun One Minute Word Challenge (OMWC) game to build their confidence in getting up and speaking on the spot. The OMWC is all about impromptu speaking – speaking  without any plan or rehearsal – and is a proven technique to help speakers overcome fear, anxiety and fine tune their speaking skills. This game will be played at every lesson (where possible).
