TOASTMASTERS BINGO
We all know Toastmaster meetings can get fun, interesting and even embarrassing at times. Take a breather and dive into the Toastmasters Bingo below. Mark off the boxes for every hilarious mishap or unforgettable moment you've experienced.
Joined a meeting halfway through
Speech was praised by many, understood by none
Brought a prop, forgot to use it
Used filler words more than actual words
Said "In Conclusion" and spoke for 5 more mins
Mistook the agenda and prepared for the wrong role
Told a joke, that became a running joke
Tried to avoid the Table Topics Master but couldn't
Tried to clap silently, failed miserably
Told a joke, only you laughed
Delivered a speech without preparing
Used a famous quote, but got it wrong
Tried a new accent midspeech and abandoned it
Invented new words during your speech
PowerPoint crashed midpresentation
Used so many gestures, it became an interpretive dance
Went way beyond your speech time
Promised to use the word of the day, but forgot
Received an evaluation longer than your speech
Called someone by the wrong name
Speech had more questions than answers
Told a story that had no relevance
Got lost in your own speech
Laughed at a joke, realized it wasn't one
Froze for a minute, called it a dramatic pause
