Saying Hello

You need: Flashcards on one topic, e.g. animals

Preparation: None needed

Number of players: 4+ people

Age: 3+

Game rules

This game is particularly suitable for courses with younger children and is a great way to start using flashcards. Younger children really have a lot of fun greeting animals, friends and even objects. They can do that in this game, too! Have the children spread the flashcards around the classroom on the floor and in the corners. First of all, you should greet the illustrations. Then encourage the children to copy you.

Tip!

Once the children have mastered the correct greeting, incorporate deliberate mistakes. E.g. Hello, kangaroo! How are you? When you are greeting the monkey. Of course, your little students will happily correct you. Nooo! That is the monkey!
