Table Topics is entertaining when there is a new style. It’s fun when table topics are delivered in jeopardy style or are picked from a grab bag. When combined with silly topics, Table Topics is a blast.
My style of giving table topics is presenting topics in Jeopardy’s Style. I have a board presented with a computer that has categories and dollar amounts. I pick a ‘contestant’ and he chooses the category and dollar amount to see his Table Topic. Aside from the visual presentation for selecting topics, we don’t use any other rules from Jeopardy. These visuals allow me to act as a game show for my delivery.
To make it interesting you don’t need so much flair either. One member brought in two Christmas stockings with words. One stocking contained nouns. The other stocking contained adjectives. Members are challenged to use both words on top of the word of the day. This would’ve been a great moment to hand out Christmas candy.
Table Topics don’t have to follow the regular format. Use an idea here or come up with your own. By adding twists and a little flair you’ll create more fun and memorable Table Topic sessions.
