Traffic light colours to time speeches demonstrated with scarves by Angela

Timing with red, yellow and red scarves
 As timekeeper, getting ready to go to Toastmasters, I had thought of demonstrating the lights with three coloured cards, red, yellow and green.

Then I decided to wear a red scarf. I thought that although red is my colour, which suits me, and is stimulating, perhaps as timer I should wear an encouraging green scarf rather than red. I put on the green, leaving on the red, reluctant to remove it, then decided to add yellow to demonstrate all the colours.

In this video you see Toastmaster of the Evening (a role recently renamed event manager) introducing me as timer.

I explained the importance of time, the speech lengths, and when to go on seeing green.

I demonstrated by waving the scarves in turn. (See previous post on entire meeting.)
