Script: Word of the Day
2021-05-10
When introduced by the Toastmaster, please state the following:
“Mr./Madam Toastmaster, fellow Toastmasters, and guests.
In charge of "The Word of the Day", it is my responsibility to introduce an useful word or phrase to use in the meeting.
• For today’s meeting, the Word is ______________________________,
which means _____________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________.
[Display the Word of the Day at the front of the room.]
• An example of using the word is: _______________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________.
• Each speaker is encouraged to use the Word of the Day.
• I will give the report when called upon and also report on other good and useful words and expressions participants used during the meeting.
Thank you, Mr./Madam Toastmaster.”
------------------------------------------------------------
Simple steps to remember on how to choose the word:
1. Pick a word that is in common usage.
**If you use an obscure word, you will not get much participation.
2. It should have more positive connotations than not.
**If you choose a word with negative meanings, people are not attracted to using it.
3. It can be widely used, which means adjectives and adverbs are best.
** A great Word of the Day is like a delicious dressing on a salad – it makes a wonderful speech even better!
