2. Song
Good Morning!
by Richard Graham &
Will Jasprizza
Good morning,
Good morning.
Good afternoon,
Good afternoon.
Good evening,
Good evening,
Good night!
Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Hello, hello, hello, hello!
Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Hello, hello, hello, hello!
( Repeat Chorus)
Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Hello, hello, hello, hello!
Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Hello, hello, hello, hello!
After practising the vocab a few times...
The best way is to get the kids in a group, sat on the floor pretending to be asleep. Then
you start the music.
You shout out "Good morning", the kids reach up and stretch whilst replying "Good
morning".
You then say "Good afternoon" and they stand up whilst replying.
Similarly for "Good evening".
Then when you say "Good night", the kids all fall back on the floor asleep!
For the "Hello, hello part" the kids all mingle together and sing each "hello" to a
different person!
Then a big final "Hello!" It's frantic but very fun!

3. Game
The following games can be played based on the class
a. Card game
–
Place different cards with images as given below. The children must identify what
greeting is being shown through the picture
b. The 1minute greeting : This is for those days when you need a superquick greeting.
Teach the children how to properly greet someone with a firm (but not painful!)
handshake, smile, eye contact, and a friendly “Good morning, Ryan!” (Tell them to be
sure and say names.) Give them 1 minute (or less) to move around the room and greet
as many peers as possible.
d. Greetings in other languages : It’s fun to collect “hello” words from other languages and
compile a class chart. Teach children the proper pronunciations and then challenge
them to greet at least 5 friends in other languages (they move around the room to do
this.) Or, for younger children, draw each child’s name and go down the list. (i.e. “Our
next friend is… Ben! Let’s greet Ben in Japanese. Konichiwa, Ben!”)
● Konichiwa (kohNeecheewah) is hello in Japanese.
● Jambo (JAHMbo) is hello in Swahili.
● Hola (OHla) is hello in Spanish.
● Ni hao (neeHaOW) is hello in Chinese.
● Bonjour (bohnZhoor) is hello in French.
● Buon giorno (bwohnJORnoh) is hello in Italian.
● Annyong ha shimnikka (AnYOH HASHimnikah) is hello in Korean.
● Czesc (Chesht) is hello is Polish.
● Zdravstvuite (ZzDRASTvetyah) is hello in Russian.
● Al Salaam a’ alaykum (ahl sahLAHMahahLAYKoom)) is hello in Arabic.

Say Hello
by Rachael Isadora
e. Pass the Hello: The general idea with this greeting is that students pass an object and
greet each other. Everyone starts by standing in a circle. The teacher greets the first
child by taking (or tossing) the object to a child and greeting him/her by name, “Good
morning, Andrea! I’m glad you are here!” The child accepts the object and responds
appropriately, “Good morning, Mrs. Antonelli!” Then the child delivers the object to the
next child with a proper greeting and then goes and sits down in her spot while the
object is passed on. (Having children sit who have already participated prevents getting
muddled at the end with questions like, “Who hasn’t had a turn?” It’s obvious that
students who are standing are the ones who still need to be greeted.”
f. Snowball Fight : When the recycle bin is full of paper, this is a fun greeting to try. Give
each child a piece of recycled paper and have them write their name on it. Then have
them crumple the paper into a ball (i.e. “snowball”) and put the kids into 2 groups on
opposite sides of the carpet. Signal “Go!” and give them 1 minute to have a “snow ball
fight.” When it’s over, have each child pick up a piece of paper and greet the child
whose name is written on it. They have a full conversation with greetings and
corresponding responses with the child whose name is on the paper received by them.
