Informational speeches on health topics include fitness, diseases and eating well. A speech to people interested in fitness can include how to choose a gym, how to begin a program in running, swimming or kickboxing, and the best ways to stick to a fitness program. Speech topics about disease tend to include prevention measures, warning signs and risk factors. Informative speeches on eating well tell people how to prepare healthy foods, how to eat healthy foods at a restaurant and how to understand the government guidelines to healthy eating. Speakers should not weigh the audience down in so-called "doctor speak," choosing words used in everyday language.
Topics about the economy teach people about saving money, financial planning and small businesses. Regardless of the economic times, people like to hear about saving money on just about anything -- at the grocery store, the mall or buying a car. Financial planning topics including saving for college, planning for retirement and even how to get the most money from a savings account or an IRA. Small business topics consist of how to get a business off the ground and what to know about local and state regulations; how to use social media information can show people how to grow their business. Knowing the audience is helpful in choosing a topic. Financial planning is good for both young and old; however, young people need information for getting started while older people need to know about how investments work for them.
Informative topics on tourism show vacationers where to go, how to plan a trip or budget traveling. With many options all over the globe, an informative trip on what to see and where to go at what time of year helps travelers decide what trip is right for them. Speeches on how to plan a trip can help people figure out how to find a great deal on a rental car or learn how to find restaurants in their destination city. Topics on budget traveling include finding cheap hotels, lower-priced admission to amusement parks and free things to do while on vacation. Tourism topics make for informative speeches from people who experienced these places firsthand; using multimedia resources like pictures and videos take an audience right to the destination without even leaving the room.
Education topics affect both kids and parents and vary between grade school, college and graduate school. Topics can include study tips, time management, test taking skills and college admissions tips. In college, topics for students can include living with roommates, decorating a dorm room, getting over homesickness and interviewing skills. Topics about grad school can include picking a good thesis topic, options to pay for graduate school and what the best degrees are for jobs. Don't neglect parents either -- they can learn how to help students with homework, how to support children if they have trouble at school or even how to deal with bullying. Informative speeches on education typically are full of statistics and studies.
