Instructions

Write absurd topics on slips of paper (e.g. 'The History of Left Socks', 'Why Clouds Are Lazy'). Each student draws one and has 30 seconds to deliver a completely made-up expert talk — confidently. No one is allowed to laugh at the content, only applaud at the end. Do as many rounds as time allows.
