Play the Hero's Welcome Song

Mini-Mentors Round

Each student gives the new hero one practical tip, encouragement, or learning trick.

The Community Speaks

All or some students take a moment to share something that has genuinely helped them. This closes the welcome ritual with warmth and community spirit.

A tip for participating in class with confidence

A trick for remembering new vocabulary

A way to feel less nervous when speaking

A personal habit that helps them improve daily
