Hello! Goodbye!

There are lots of ways to greet someone. Hey What’s Up? Hi! Ask children if there are other ways to greet someone. Use signs on Activity Sheet 1 to practice greetings. The children could make these signs or the teacher can have them made ahead of time. What’s New?

A GREETING is a way to Hello.

We usually greet someone the first time we see them in a day… Hello Kitty. Remind children that they don’t have to say hello every time they see someone.

I can greet my teacher. Hi Miss Lewis. With this slide and the next two slides, discuss how children might greet some people in different ways than for others – It may not be appropriate to use a very formal greeting with friends or to use a casual, “what’s up” with a friend of your grandmother. Role play greeting different people – you may want to make masks or signs to indicate who each child is greeting. Masks could be made simply by taking a picture of the person and gluing it to a paper plate. The plate could be attached to a large craft stick. Some pictures you may want to have include: Teacher Mom Friend Grandma Doctor Clerk Cafeteria worker School secretary

I’m so glad you’re here, Grandma! I can greet my Grandma… I’m so glad you’re here, Grandma!

Hey guys…What’s Up? I can greet my friends…

Greetings are easy…I can greet the people I meet each day. Remind children again to greet someone just the first time you meet them each day, or if you have been away from them for most of the day. Remind children to say it just one time. Ask for situations when someone may not greet them back right away (teacher busy, grandma didn’t hear, friend upset, etc.) Say it just one time!!

When I am ready to leave, I can say GOODBYE, too. See ya. Talk about other ways to say goodbye. Use Activity Sheet 2 to practice greetings – Children can make the signs or the teacher can have them made ahead of time. Catch you later. See you tomorrow.

I can say GOODBYE to my teacher… Bye Miss Lewis With this slide and the next two slides, discuss how children might greet some people in different ways than for others – It may not be appropriate to use a very formal greeting with friends or to use a casual, “what’s up” with a friend of your grandmother. Role play greeting different people – you may want to make masks or signs to indicate who each child is greeting. (See slide #5 Trainer’s Notes)

I can say GOODBYE to my Grandma… I’ll miss you, Grandma.

I can say GOODBYE to my friends… See ya, Tony. I can say GOODBYE to my friends… Bye.

The WAVE… Talk about how waving can be used to say hello or goodbye.

A WAVE can say HELLO or GOODBYE. Have students practice waving – show different types of waving (an enthusiastic large wave, a small quiet wave if someone is busy, etc.).

What should you do if a friend doesn’t say “Hi” back? So, What Do You Think? What should you do if a friend doesn’t say “Hi” back? Ask children what they think they should do if a friend doesn’t say “hi” back – role play some situations where this might happen.

Hellos and Goodbyes Say “Hello” when you see someone for the first time each day. Say “Goodbye” when you are leaving A wave can say “Hello” or “Goodbye” Remember to say it just once. This summary slide is also available to make a “Social Power” Point magnet that student can place on their locker or refrigerator door as a reminder of the lesson. “Social Power” Point
