What are 4-H Presentations?
4-H Presentations are a huge part of North Carolina 4-H. It is one of the most successful ways to help a young person learn public speaking skills. It focuses on members teaching others what they know about a particular project/subject matter. They are sometimes called demonstrations, illustrated talks or formal speeches.
Demonstration: DOING, SHOWING HOW, MAKING – has a finished product to show – shows how a task is done or product is made. For example: show how to make a healthy snack using fruits and vegetables.
Illustrated Talk: TALKING, TELLING HOW, using CHARTS, PICTURES, MODELS – shares information with the help of pictures, videos, charts, models, etc.
Formal Speech: Shares information on a topic without using any visuals, props or materials. Sometimes this is a speech that a young person has memorized or a paper someone has written.
Benefits of 4-H Presentations
- Teaches life skills Increase public speaking skills
- Increase self-confidence
- Increase knowledge & interest in a certain subject matter
- Will help you in the long run with:
- Communicating
- Other clubs & projects
- College/post-secondary education
- Careers
Giving a presentation is a great learning experience. The topic should be something youth enjoy, are interested in, and can be presented easily in 5 to 15 minutes. 4-H’ers who do a presentation develop self-confidence, the ability to speak in front of an audience, and the ability to think ahead.
Youth will present at County Activity Day and then District Activity Day. Youth that win at District Activity Day will advance to the state competition.
County Activity Day
