Use a Class Mascot for Magical Engagement 🦊🧸
Introduce a soft toy or puppet (e.g., Bee the Bee or Monty the Bear) who speaks only English.
The mascot can "greet" students individually ("Hello, Anna!").
It can be "shy" and ask children to help it learn new words.
It can "whisper" instructions or secrets into the teacher's ear.
This lowers young learners' anxiety, sparks excitement, and makes them eager to communicate!
