Hey! I have to come up with a fun topic for a persuasive speech in my English class. I want something interesting and relevant but not too serious. Any ideas?
Hey there! It's always enjoyable to brainstorm some fun and light-hearted persuasive speech topics. Below, I've listed a few ideas that should hopefully get the creative juices flowing:
1. Why pets are better than siblings
2. The benefits of staying up late vs. being an early bird
3. Why pineapple belongs on pizza (or doesn't!)
4. The superiority of a certain movie or TV show genre (e.g., comedy vs. dramas)
5. Why every workplace should have a mandatory nap time
6. The importance of breakfast: championing your favorite type of breakfast food
7. Making the case for your favorite superhero being the best one
8. Why book-to-movie adaptations need more respect (or need to stop happening)
9. How the world would benefit from a 3-day workweek
10. The advantages of handwritten letters over emails and texts
11. Which of Taylor Swift's musical eras is the best
12. An alternative name for American football
13. The best pasta shape
14. Which fast food chain is superior
15. The logic behind your personal Chipotle order
Good luck and have fun with your speech!
