Step 1: Book a table in advance in the busiest location on campus. Make sure it is during peak hours. 

Step 2: Decide what your topic will be. Below we have a list of helpful topics that will spark a conversation! 

Step 3: Before your tabling time, send out an email to your group and have them sign up to participate. Make sure they know the topic well and are prepared to talk about it. Protect Life Michigan recommends holding an apologetics training during one of your meetings.

Step 4: Create your display. Go to Meijer or Walmart and buy a trifold poster board that will stand on its own. You'll also want to get colorful markers, construction paper, sticky notes, stickers, etc. Make your display colorful, attractive, and visible from a distance. The goal is to have one main point or question written on the top in large letters so that people can see it from a distance. Tip: Make your display interactive by having people vote or write their thoughts on a sticky note and place it on your display.

Step 5: Finish off your table with relevant handouts. It is critically important that every student you talk to has something to walk away with. Examples of these materials include flyers, pamphlets, buttons, or booklets. Ask Protect Life Michigan for materials or create some of your own.

Step 6: Finally, never do a tabling event without flyers for your next meeting and a sign up sheet! ....And candy. Everyone loves candy!

A few other tips: 1) Don't sit behind the table- stand next to and in front of it. 2) Be proactive and engaging. 3) Smile when someone walks by and be bold in asking them an initial question to start dialogue.
