Use Songs: There are so many songs to choose from but our favorite is the very simple but very fun “Hello, good morning”.
They can learn these phrases in English and in Spanish…so they can greet twice as many friends!
A simple “hello” in someone’s native language goes a long way to establish a connection with someone.
Nothing makes a person smile more than knowing that a stranger is trying to speak to them in their own language.
Learning to say “hello” in multiple languages can be fun!
Sing in English.
Sing in Spanish.
Sing in both!
Sing every morning to salute the day with joy and to establish the behavior.
Role Play: Use your child’s favorite stuffed animals and throw a pretend tea party or birthday party.
Ask your child to greet each animal as he/she arrives at the party with phrases like “Hello” and “Thanks for coming.”
You can respond with your most sweet bunny voice with “Hi. How are you?.” and with the most majestic wave of your elephant trunk with a “Nice to see you”.
Act out shaking hands, paws, trunks, etc. and giving snuggly hugs.
Switch roles to allow your child to role play as his/her favorite lovie.
Soon your little one will get the hang of it and start to realize how nice it feels to greet and be greeted with a warm welcome.

When you walk into a classroom, you usually see kids moving around, conversing, working together or at their desk completing an activity. Teachers welcome their students at the door with high fives or hugs. However, during this pandemic teachers’ classrooms look very different. Teachers have to think of creative and safe ways to still bring fun learning into the classroom. And that includes providing safe greetings at the door. Use this mini lesson time to model what to do and what not to do. Most teachers love to welcome their students at the door, and this still provides them that chance, but in a non-contact way. As a quick mini lesson, start your year off with these fun, safe greetings.

You can say hello by just saying 'Hello' with a smile. You can also wave your hand while saying 'Hi' or 'Hello'. This makes it even more friendly. You can even make up your own fun way to say hello. Try using a silly voice or a funny dance. Just remember to be friendly and show that you are happy to see them. The more you practice saying hello in different ways, the better you’ll get at making new friends.

Compile a list of common greetings such as hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, goodbye, thank you, and you're welcome in both written and spoken forms. Flashcards or other visual tools are a fantastic way to help students learn and retain these new words. Create Speaking Opportunities for your students Use interactive methods like role-playing or dialogues to show students how these greetings are used in different situations. Encourage students to practise these greetings with each other in pairs or groups. Challenge students to come up with a special action for greetings like Good night, Good day, and Thank you. Once the students have learned the motions, encourage the students to play a charades game. Do the motion, and have the student guess the greeting by speaking it out loud. Keep on reinforcing this vocabulary by starting your following English lessons with basic greetings, until your students have them memorised, and can produce the language easily. By introducing basic greetings in the first lesson, learners acquire essential communication skills, gain confidence, and lay the groundwork for further language learning.
