Table Topics questions and answers

What is Table Topics in Toastmasters?

Table Topics is the impromptu-speaking portion of a Toastmasters meeting: speakers answer a surprise question with a one- to two-minute response, practicing quick thinking and delivery.

How long is a Table Topics speech?

A Table Topics response runs one to two minutes, timed green at 1:00, yellow at 1:30, and red at 2:00.

What are the Table Topics timing signals?

Green at 1:00 means the minimum time is reached, yellow at 1:30 signals the speaker should wrap up, and red at 2:00 means the maximum time has passed. Contest speakers qualify inside a 30-second grace window around that range.

How do I practice Table Topics?
