2	Role Plays	First a theme shall be set, may be a scenario or story. Then all participants will take a character in that story. They start conversing each other as if they are doing it in real with no prior preparation of roles.Everything on the fly. Ex: A passanger travelling through plane and flight getting delayed by airways so he need to communicate with them and solve his problem. Ex: A person need to go to bank and open an account so he shall talk to bank manager for knowing why his application got rejected. Every character in this kind of scenarios will be played by every other member. The scene builds by everyone by their own.	Builds and prepares mind to face realtime scenarios
3	One line story building	It is similar to above activity which is centered on a theme but here every member must tell only one line story and give chance to other member where he prolongs the story where earlier member stopped. Like that the cycle continues.	Builds and prepares mind to face realtime scenarios
4	Loud shouting	Members will be standing in a line with few meters apart from each other in a straight line. The first and last member shall communicate each other May be they can conservate in a question and answer format like what is morning breakfast, what is your father's name. As the two extreme people need to talk they shall shout out loud for communication with this confidence increases.	Loud shouting will give a feeling that we can also sound like ocean waves, like a firing bullet :) It also helps you to free blocks very easily...some mental blocks of few words..

8	Anxiety control round	Every member will ask one question to a every other member, but the answer should be given after sometime i.e you are restricting youself not to answer at once, in mean while you think what to be answered and then answer the question	Your speech patterns of talking after prior thinking will be improving apart from controlling anxiety
9	Slow speaking	Speak slowly which will make you calm, think of content and makes you comfortable in situation. The slow speaking varies from person to person, So the speed at which you not stammering much and able to think of content at ease that is your comfortable speed	Increases your confidence as you stammer less
