Session 36: Conversations

Introduction Activity

 Hello Around the World ( 20 min ) 

• Use visuals or flashcards to show how to greet people in different countries.

• Ask students how they greet friends at school or neighbours at home.

• Connect it to English greetings like:

• Hello / Hi

• Good morning / Good afternoon

• How are you?

Mini Task:
Students walk around and greet 3 classmates in English using: “Hi, I’m ___. What’s your name?”
(This helps break the ice and gets everyone talking!)
