I'm still trying to work this out too.

My most recent experiment: Have them assign roles during the promenade.

After circle left/right/forward and back, I have them partner up and
then promenade as couples.
Once we've established counterclockwise, I let them know that the
person on the left is
doing the lark's role, and the person on the right's is doing the robin's role.

I need to try this a few more times before I figure out if I want to
keep doing it this
way.

(I like to have the swing a bit later in the workshop, just to catch
more newcomers
that didn't _quite_ make it to the start of the beginner lesson. And
to work on other
connected figures like allemande and two-hand turn.)

Cheers,
