   While there are a number of ways to communicate to children, placing emphasis on language, visual aids and structure is important. Preparing a persuasive speech for children requires planning, time and commitment. There are, however, steps that a writer can implement to ensure that each child is focused and inspired during a speech. Develop a plan for your learning goals. Write down three facts that the children will learn from your speech. An example of a learning goal might be: Students will learn that in-school bullying hurts all students. Create a theme. Consider using a visual component with your speech. Write down three theme ideas that may entice your audience. Use bullet points to list the ideas. Leave room underneath each point to expand your thoughts and notate any supplies that may be needed to carry out each theme. For example, some theme ideas might include color or the use of animal props. Children are often visual learners, so placing emphasis on the visual may help convey your message. Choose at least one theme to use throughout your speech. This will ensure consistency. Think about your speech subject matter. Focus on what you would like your audience to learn. Write down three to five sentences about your subject. Be sure to keep sentences short; use colorful language. For example, placing adjectives in your sentences could bring them to life. Consider including questions for your audience to answer in your speech. Having children participate during your speech will definitely keep their attention. Organize the parts of your speech. Create an outline. Your speech should be structured in three parts: the introduction, body and conclusion. Include in your introduction some things about yourself. Children respond positively to personal stories. Format the body of your speech to include what you are discussing. Write the conclusion. Provide the children with an overview of your speech content. The conclusion should be witty and inspiring. Be willing to use sentences that leave a lasting impression. For example, consider placing phrases in your conclusion, such as: "Your classmates are your friends." Practice your speech aloud. Use moderate body language. Read your speech in front of someone else, then ask for constructive feedback.
