Brown bag demonstrations

Brown bag demonstrations are a useful tool to assist members in performing quick demonstrations.  You can do this activity at club meetings, project meetings, afterschool settings, camp and many more. Brown bag demonstrations can be the first step in acquiring skills in presentation and public speaking while enhancing self confidence.

Special thanks to Kim Mehl-Hall, 4-H youth specialist, Johnson County, Sharen Hunt, 4-H youth specialist, Platt County and Julie Schmitt, 4-H youth program assistant, Buchanan County for sharing their brown bag demonstrations.
