This is usually the first class with your Elementary English Language Learners. Prepare your students to use greetings and introductions.Prepare your students for cultural awareness.

Greet your students with your hand as you wave your hand to say Hello! Or hi! Have the class greet each other.

Introduce yourself by writing your name on the board and touching yourself and saying: My name’s _____.

Greetings Unit Flashcards

Use the downloadable Greetings flashcards for the language functions on how to use the greetings: Hi!, Hello! And to introduce oneself.

Impulse communication skills. Put the Greetings flashcards around the classroom. Point to one and say:

Encourage your students to point to other flashcards and read the sentence and say a similar one to introduce themselves.

Display any of the flashcards with simple dialogues around the room and say the word or sentence. Have a student go and point to the correct one. Perfect for language practice.

Place the flashcards on the board or a clear plastic sheet and introduce the contraction: I'm. Have the students do the same with each flashcard as a reinforcement.

There is a set small cards for easy printing or small groups teaching. Cut the words out of the card. Place the picture part around the classroom and hand in the written part strip to each student. Have them walk around matching to the picture.

Then, ask questions: What's her name?

Student: Erika

Make craft stick puppets with the small cards. Use them to ask questions:
Is she a girl?

Students can make their name card for their desks or print the ones available in this resource. When all the name cards are on the desks, have a group of students stand up and walk around the classroom greeting the students by their name that are sitting down.

Another activity would be: Point to a name card and drill the questions: What is his/her name?

 Print both pages for each student. Have them staple on the side and cut along the horizontal lines from the first page to make the flaps.

Students will answer to all to all the phrases or questions on the front flap.

Have your students play with another student reading and answering what is written on the other side of the flap. They can take home the flap book to ask questions to their family members.
