Here’s an interactive activity to practice speaking about greetings:

  1. Pair up with a partner.
  2. Decide who will be person A and who will be person B.
  3. Person A will start by greeting person B in a specific way (e.g. “Good morning!”).
  4. Person B will respond with a different greeting (e.g. “Hey there!”).
  5. Person A will then respond to person B’s greeting with another greeting (e.g. “Howdy!”).
  6. Continue this back-and-forth exchange of greetings for a few minutes.
  7. After a few minutes, switch roles so that person B is now initiating the greetings and person A is responding.
  8. Try to use a variety of greetings, including formal and informal ones, and see how creative you can get with your responses.
  9. After the activity, discuss with your partner which greetings you found most natural to use and which ones were more challenging.

  3. Person A says a greeting (like “Good morning!”).
  4. Person B responds with a different greeting (like “Hey there!”).
  5. Person A then responds to Person B’s greeting with another greeting (like “Howdy!”).
  6. Keep going back and forth like this for a few minutes.
  7. Then switch roles so that Person B starts and Person A responds.
  8. Try to use different types of greetings, both formal and informal.
  9. After the activity, talk with your partner about which greetings were easy or hard to use.
