</div>#### 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!)

### Main Activity

Dialogue Practice with Actions ( 20 min )

How to Do It:

- Act out a short conversation with one student (e.g., pretend you're meeting for the first time).
- Break the conversation into lines and teach it line-by-line.

- Let them act the conversation in pairs, first reading, then trying without the cards.
- Encourage expression—smile, wave, handshake.
