School assemblies are a crucial
component of any school term. They can be used to inspire kids and help them
cope with their struggles, especially since they are in a stage where they are
struggling to define their personal identity. Assemblies offer great value as
they work to reinforce learning, shared values, and issues within their own
community. Assemblies also provide a platform to highlight particular issues
that the students struggle with in an unintimidating, entertaining, and
educational manner.
Instead of a long and boring
talk, you can
make your middle school assembly livelier and more entertaining by planning
out the program around your main subject. You can use various activities like
games and other group dynamics to break the ice before getting right into the
talk. Assemblies need not be too formal, in fact your students will appreciate
the program better if they can participate and interact.
This is where professional
motivational speakers come in handy. They know how to tickle the interests of
students and find ways to keep their attention and be entertaining without
losing sight of the main point of the program. Middle-schoolers are relatively
easier to please than teen audiences. In fact, you don't have to do much to
impress them. Before you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on huge
assembly gimmicks like bringing in a portable planetarium or an entire historical
exhibit, consider hiring a motivational speaker to entertain, educate, and
inspire your kids. These inspirational people can do more for your students
than other expensive assembly gimmicks, by simply sharing their own stories and
triumphs over various challenges in life that children will more than likely
experience for themselves in the near future. Look for motivational speakers
that children can easily relate with and offer real positive impact.
