Practice a helpful move for nerves about speaking up.
Picture cards: Pick one line · Try it once · Pause if needed
Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.
Practice an opening and a backup line. Say “I’ll start with our main point. Could I take a second to check my notes?” Try it once with a partner. Switch roles and try it again.
Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
