Well drilling won't be a problem then.
The thing to do in this situation is use hand gestures (I'm guessing it's a mono-lingual environment).
Teach them a speak and stop gesture, then drill as you were stop them and teach the rest.
As an example with names: 'My name is Mal' 'My name is' (stop gesture) then demo the full pattern with 1 or 2, hopefully the rest will click the added bit is their names, and it should fall into place.
Chinese kids are weird though in that they all have a western name, which tend to change now and then.
