Day 15: "Hello, My Name Is Kelsea. What's your name?"

Working on lesson planning is incredibly time consuming, not only that but the teaching is going to be impeccably repetitive. The mandatory warmer for the Basic Lesson Model of teaching goes as follows:
Teacher/Teacher (Teacher is in front of class room swapping places with herself making like she's having a conversation with another person.)
"Hello, my name is Kelsea. Whats your name?"
"My name is Laura."
"Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too."
(Repeat 4x)

Teacher/Student (Teacher motions for a student to stand, and engages in dialogue with student)
T: "Hello, my name is Kelsea. Whats your name?"
S: "My name is ____."
T: "Nice to meet you."
S: "Nice to meet you too."
(Repeat 8x, w/ 8 different students)

Student/Teacher (Teacher motions for a student to stand, this time student starts off the convo.)
S: "Hello, my name is ____. Whats your name?"
T: "My name is Kelsea."
S: "Nice to meet you."
T: "Nice to meet you too."
(Repeat 8x, w/ 8 different students)

Student/Student (Teacher motions for 2 students to stand, and have them engage in warmer dialogue.)
...you get it
(Repeat 8x, w/ 8 different pairs of students)

U (Horseshoe- # students off 1,2,1,2,etc.- 1's stand and rotate around the u-shape formation of students and engage in warmer dialogue with the seated 2's)
(students continue this until they get bored and sit down...)
Repetative yea?
And this is just the warmer.
Oh the joys of repetition.
