UNIT 1 Lesson 2

Objective

Consolidation of the different types of greetings taught. Presentation of the structure: My name is… Flashcards from this unit, Festive fingers (Games).

Materials

3 | For the next activity your students will be on their feet. Point to one of them so that he/she greets a classmate that he/she chooses, shaking hands. This last student will repeat the action with another child, and the activity will continue, until everybody has greeted their classmates.

Playful activities

1 | Use the Festive fingers to start playing. Remember that they have different colors because one represents Hello, and the other Bye bye. Hide them behind your back, then show one of them to the children. They will have to say which the corresponding greeting is. Continue the same procedure, showing the hands at higher speed, to make the activity challenging and fun.

2 | Ask the children to sit on the floor in a circle. Provide one of them with a Festive finger, while you keep the other. Next, greet the child:

Teacher: Hi-5, David!

Child: Hi-5, teacher! Continue greeting the rest of the children.

4 | The children will remain in the same position. This time roll a ball towards one of them, and once he/she gets it, the child will have to greet and say his/her name. Then the ball will roll again, and the same procedure will continue, until all the children have introduced themselves. Child: Hello! My name is…

5 | Paint the hands of your students to print them on white construction paper. Keep in mind that you will need two colors of paint, one for each hand. Once the paint has dried, cut out the outlines and write on each of them with a fiber the words Hello and Bye-bye. Place a popsicle stick behind each silhouette and a bit of adhesive tape.

Color the hands of the children with paint, so that they can print them inside the frame of the page. While you do the activity ask the students to say the words Hi! and Hello! When the paint is dried, write these words inside the shapes.
