Fun and Games with Jenners – Game 6: Commencement Speech
by Jenners • 06/14/2009 • Fun and Games • 11 Comments
This game was inspired by Kisatrtle over at Kisatrtle’s Kreative Korner. She has been talking about how she loves covering commencement speeches for her local newspaper as a freelance writer. This made me wonder what it would be like to write my own commencement speech. Haven’t you ever wanted to do this? So this challenge is pretty straightforward:
Write a commencement speech.
The details are completely up to you! You can address your speech to any type of students you want — kindergartners, high schoolers, college students. Heck, if you want to give a commencement speech to dogs graduating from obedience school, that is fine too! And feel free to award yourself an honorary degree while you’re at it. I know I plan to!
I’ll post Mr. Linky on Friday, June 19th, for anyone who wants to participate, and I’ll be polishing up my speech all this week. Hope you’ll play along!

Great idea! I'll give it a shot!
I almost failed Speech class! I am no good at all!
You're so full of fun!! Crazy fun! Love it…
What a great idea! Oh… now I'm going to have to be creative again…
Great! I've actually give two commencement speeches in my life so I might have to try something fun!
I think I am uniquely qualified to do this! I am not sure why I think that, but that is OK with me!
I love this prompt. I don't know if I'll be able to write it in time for Mr. Linky. I'm doing a few reviews/giveaways that I'm going to schedule to post for this upcoming as I'll be having some time away from the computer. But, I'm really excited about this one. So, if I don't get in on the Mr. Linky fun, I think I'll still do it once I'm back at the keyboard again. I can't wait to see what you write!
Sounds like fun! I'm all over this one. Count me in!
This sounds fun! I will be going to Medium's kindergarten graduation on Tuesday so I can get some pointers.
oh my goodness, this will be good. I may have to participate!
You know I'm totally in!
