Creating your own Custom personas

Firstly we need to create a specialised Gpt. This will save huge amounts of time by ensuring our prompts get the best and most relevent answers possible. We acheive this using custom personas...

We began by using the below custom persona. If you want to look in to how I make my custom personas, in more detail, check this conversation ---> https://chat.openai.com/share/4185b52d-e0f4-4381-bfec-f7d27e7e0fba

Initially I was using this to help me come up with games to play with the kids in my day job as an elementary foreign language teacher. Note I have slightly adapted the prompt to make it look better. Although nothing significant has changed.
