What Stringer's Reading

If students continue to fail, I'll say, "Excellent! We've found something that's really difficult for you! What a great opportunity to improve your technique!" Or "How many times have you played this game?"
"Never!"
"And are you supposed to be good at it?"
"Well - not really..."
"So why shouldn't you screw up?"
This makes the students smile and cast off the tension visibly.
