This ongoing class is the private version of my Confident Speakers Clubs. It is for learners that love to play games and talk about new topics but would prefer individual attention. Each class will start with a greeting and an introduction to the theme through a tongue twister. Next, we will play a game while learning vocabulary related to that theme. A variety of styles of game play will be used, including but not limited to Battleship, Clue, Life, Candyland, Jeopardy, and many others. As we play, learners will be encouraged to learn new words and use them to show many different language skills such as making sentences, taking turns, answering questions, or asking for more information. Learners will be encouraged to speak confidently using good language and grammar throughout the class and we will talk about strategies speakers use to boost their confidence. The tentative schedule of topics will be: Week of June 5: Snacks Week of June 12: Vacation Week of June 19: Summer Week of June 26: Under the Sea Week of July 3: Zoo Animals Week of July 10: Camping Week of July 17: Fair Week of July 24: Garden ***No Class Week of July 31*** Week of August 7: Groceries Week of August 17: Space Week of August 21: Ancient Egypt Week of August 28: Cities ***No Class Week of September 4*** Week of September 11: Occupations Week of September 18: Pirates Week of September 25: Fall Week of October 2: Video Games Week of October 9: Transportation Week of October 16: Disney Week of October 23: Candyland ***No class the week of October 30*** Week of November 6: Home Week of November 13: Thankful ***No class the week of November 20*** Week of November 27: Baking Week of December 4: Food Week of December 11: Holiday **No class weeks of December 18, 25 and January 1*** Week of January 8: Time Week of January 15: Winter Week of January 22: Dinosaur/Caveman Week of January 29: Arctic Week of February 5: Art Week of February 12: Valentines Week of February 19: Jungle Week of February 26: Mystery **No class March 4** Week of March 11: Opposites Week of March 18: Spring Week of March 25: Music Week of April 1: Books Week of April 8: Flowers Week of April 15: Weather Week of April 22: Castles/Knights Week of April 29: Sports Week of May 6: Pets **No class weeks of May 13, 20 and 27** I will update this list continuously.

Parental Guidance
Themes and vocabulary will be kept age appropriate and I will do my best to steer the conversation away from controversial topics.
Supply List
There will be a worksheet with vocabulary words after class. Learners will be encouraged to practice the words to promote carryover of the terms. This handout will always be black and white to preserve printer ink, but it can also be completed on a device if a printer is not available.

I have been a speech-language pathologist for over 20 years and love to help kids acquire new language and communication skills. In graduate school, I taught several sections of interpersonal communication and public speaking classes. I have also been an active 4-H leader for over 10 years and helped many of my club members become amazing public speakers and presenters. I have always loved to help kids play with public speaking, language, and vocabulary skills. I always hope they will leave my class as better communicators. Reviews
