Hi everyone,
So here I am again 😅 I need some help with a greetings lesson.
I’m supposed to teach:
Hello
Good morning
Good afternoon
Good evening
Good night
Good bye
The class is 45 minutes long (1st grade).
So far, I’ve tried these two activities:
1. Greeting Freeze Game
Students walk around the classroom greeting each other (e.g. “Good morning”).
When I say “stop,” they freeze, and I change the greeting (e.g. “Good bye”), then they start again.
2. Business Card Activity
Each student writes their name on small cards.
They walk around exchanging cards while saying:
“Hello, good morning. My name is ___. Nice to meet you.”
Each student had 3 cards.
The problem is… I did both activities and still had about 10 minutes left 😭
Question:
Do you have any other simple games or activities for teaching greetings to young learners?
I’d really appreciate any ideas 🙏
