Introduce the lesson with a welcoming tone. Explain that today we'll go on a journey to learn about self-control through a fun story and activities.

Meet Our Hero

A Big Challenge

Introduce a slide that explains the role-play activity. This slide reminds the students of the upcoming interactive session where they can practice self-control themselves.
