1. WARM-UP

a. Objective: To create a fun atmosphere, engage pupils, and introduce basic classroom commands using Total Physical Response (TPR).

b. Organisation:

- Teacher invites the class to play a quick game of "Simon Says" to review basic commands (e.g., Stand up, Sit down, Quiet).

- Teacher introduces a basic AI voice assistant (e.g., a Text-to-Speech tool or smart speaker). Teacher inputs commands into the AI tool (e.g., "Stand up", "Sit down") to generate instructions randomly.
