Greetings and Introductions — Vocabulary Flashcards

How to Present

• Cut out the cards along the dashed lines.
• Use the picture cards to introduce and drill the ten greetings.
• Mix picture and word cards together for a matching game.
• Hold up a card and have students say the greeting aloud.

Games & Speaking Activities

• Lay the ten picture cards face-up in a circle and have students walk around the circle, stopping on a card and saying that greeting aloud to a partner before moving on.

Teacher Tips

Introduce the cards in a natural conversation order the first time through (hello, what's your name, nice to meet you, goodbye) rather than shuffled — a familiar exchange gives students an easy memory hook before they see the cards mixed up in later activities.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to recognize and say ten core greetings and introductions in English from a picture cue alone.

Differentiation

Support: start with only the four most familiar greetings (hello, goodbye, good morning, good night) before introducing the question-and-response pairs.

Extension: have students sort the cards into "things you say" and "things you ask" groups as a preview of the question-word grammar taught later in the unit.
