- 🙋 Name: "My name is..."

- 🎂 Age:"I am ... years old."

- 🏡 Place of Origin: "I come from..." / "I am from..."

- 🎓 Background: "I am a student at..." / "I work as..."

- 🎨 Hobbies or Interests: "I like..." / "My hobby is..."

- 😊 Closing Statement: "Nice to meet you!"

🎯 E. Interactive Activities

🔹 Activity 1: Self-Introduction Bingo🎲

   - Each student receives a bingo card with different self-introduction statements (e.g., "I have a pet," "I love reading," "I play a sport").

   - Students walk around the class, introducing themselves and finding classmates who match the statements.

   - The first student to complete a row or column shouts "Bingo!" and shares some fun facts about their classmates.

🔹 Activity 2: Speed Networking⏳

   - Students form two circles (inner and outer) facing each other.

   - Each pair has one minute to introduce themselves before rotating to the next partner.

   - This activity helps improve fluency and confidence in self-introduction.

🔹 Activity 3: Mystery Identity 🕵‍♂

   - Each student receives a card with a secret identity (e.g., a famous person or fictional character).

   - They introduce themselves using clues without revealing their name.

   - Other students guess who they are based on their introduction.

🔹 Activity 4: Storytelling Chain📖

   - The class creates a collective story where each student introduces themselves and adds a short sentence about their background, hobbies, or interests.

   - This helps students connect their self-introduction with storytelling skills.
