Kindergarten ESL Worksheet: Greetings and Introductions — Circle, Trace, Match and Draw

Student Task

• Page 1 (Parts A–B) fits Lesson 1 after Hello / Goodbye is taught. Pages 2–3 (Parts C–F) fit Lesson 2. Part E is a listening task: read the script in the answer key. The homework practises the same language at home with a family star chart.

Classroom Use

• Before Part B, children "sky write" each word in the air with a big finger.
• After Part F, children hold up their page and introduce themselves: "Hello! My name is ___. I'm happy."

Differentiation

Support: Use an action with every phrase, every time. Accept one-word answers first ("Mina.", "Happy.") and then model the full sentence for the child to repeat. Give each child a name card to copy. Pair a shy child with a confident buddy for the role play. Write the tracing words in yellow highlighter for children who need more help.
Extension: Teach "Good evening!" and "See you tomorrow!". Ask "How old are you?" – "I'm five." Let confident children lead the Hello Chant or play the teacher in Name Ball. Ask them to introduce a friend: "This is Ben."

Answer Key & Assessment

The answer key covers Parts A, C, D and E and homework Part A, with the Part E listening script. Use the Grading Rubric (Tracing and writing) for Parts B and F.

Learning Objectives

• Say Hello / Hi and Goodbye / Bye-bye at the right time.
• Choose Good morning, Good afternoon or Good night from a picture of the time of day.
• Answer "What's your name?" with "My name is ___." and ask a friend.
• Answer "How are you?" with "I'm fine, thank you." or "I'm happy / sad / tired."
• Say "Nice to meet you!" when they meet someone new.
• Trace Hello, Hi and Bye on the lines and write their own name.

Teacher Tips

Listen for the end sounds. Many children in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia drop the last sound, so "name" becomes "nay", "fine" becomes "fai" and "nice" becomes "nai". Say the word slowly and close your hand as you finish the sound ("na-m-e"). Children copy the hand and the sound, and the end sounds quickly come back.
