1. Good morning!!!
Welcome to my English blog. I am going to show your how the children can learn
and improve their listening and reading.
This time I have chosen greetings for the first days of the first year of a Primary
school. I decided this topic because I would like to start the year with some polite
vocabulary, that in my opinion, is necessary to have a polite conversation.

METHODS AND LEARNING TECHNIQUES
Natural method: they learn words by relating them with some
gestures.
Audio-lingual method: listening, repeating words and
sentences.
Communicative approach: to speak in English with the teacher
and classmates to improve their communication.
Total Physical Response method: is easier to memorize new
vocabulary if we related it with movement.
RESOURCES
We will need a digital- blackboard to what the song video. Also we will use a story,
some flascards, wordcards and a puzzle.

REVIEW
After practicing the vocabulary a few times...
The best way is to get the kids in a group, sat on the floor pretending to be asleep. Then you
start the music.
9. You shout out "Good morning", the kids reach up and stretch whilst replying "Good morning".
You then say "Good afternoon" and they stand up whilst replying.
Similarly for "Good evening".
10. Then when you say "Good night", the kids all fall back on the floor asleep!
For the “nice to meet you” the kids all mingle together and sing each "nice to meet you" to a
different person!
This song is great as a warm up, It's very fun!
Finally listen the song again and do the gestures according with the meaning
