Aim: To practice greetings
Vocabulary: Greetings
What
to do:
You and
the children sit or stand in a circle.
Explain
that you have ‘collected’ some TL greetings and they are in your pocket – recap
two alternative words for either ‘Hello’ or ‘Goodbye’ (depending if it is the
beginning or the end of the lesson).
Turn to
the child to your left, shake their hand and say the first word for ‘hello’ (or
‘goodbye’) e.g. bonjour.
Ask the
child to pass it to the child on their left with a handshake, and so on all the
way round the circle clockwise.
Meanwhile
shake hands with the child on your right and say the other TL greeting (e.g.
salut) and ask them to pass it on anti-clockwise.
See
which greeting ‘arrives’ back in your hand first – when they have both
‘arrived’ put them back in your pocket safely for next time.
Note
that the child halfway round the circle at the cross-over point will have the
tricky task of passing on both greetings at the same time and must concentrate
hard not to get them muddled up!
