Call to quiet Cats
You don't have to sing, play an instrument, or act to be a rock star! In a safe and fun environment, kids can be rock star presenters! |
Practice presenting
Getting in front of others can be frightening, a little intimidating - but all it takes is practice...in front of real people. |
Be heard like a Lion
This is an experiential learning activity where kids will collaborate on projects and present in a team environment as a small group. Like anything else, practice over time builds confidence! |

Questions and Answers
What is this? A play group? A workshop? A meetup?
It's a combination of all three! It is a small group with like-minded parents who want their child to conquer fear of public speaking. We meet on a regular basis to give each child an opportunity to present in front of real people - that is the way to squash the fear of public speaking.

Who is running this group?
Hello! I am Ms. Sun a working mom who sees the importance of being able to work with a team and communicate with others. I couldn't find something like this locally for my own kids so after doing research and planning, I decided that there might be a need for this type of activity for kids today. View this group as a supplemental activity to the current education curriculum. Giving the time for each child to speak out loud will help them over time to feel comfortable to express their thoughts, opinions and ask questions in a large group.

How are the kids going to learn?
The kids will learn by actually speaking in front of people - experiential learning! We will learn a new topic each meeting and follow a schedule with an objective of each child speaking out loud and being heard. In the one hour time, we will follow a planned activity that includes reading out loud, voice exercises and practicing presenting. Over time, the gradual build up will be with an end goal of being able to speak into a mic on a 'stage'.
