STAGES
SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
Stage 1
Read the different greetings, farewell or courtesy expressions from your Big Book or other sources and have Ss act them out.
Organize Ss into groups. Make them create a non-verbal way to express the next greeting and farewell expressions: Hi!, Hello, Give me five!, Whats up? Whats
new?, Good morning, Good afternoon, Good night, See you tomorrow and Goodbye (encourage Ss to be original and have fun with this exercise).
Make Ss aware of the different forms to address family and friends, and other people.

Stage 2
Show the writing of greetings and courtesy expressions. Have Ss complete the writing of greetings where one or two letters are missing.
Asks Ss to cut out the letters from magazines to form those words, and then paste them on small cardboards (15cm x 15cm). After that, have them trace the whole word
following directionality. Do choral repetition with the words.

Stage 3
Have Ss cut out from magazines illustrations related to greeting, farewell, and courtesy expressions (or to draw the illustrations themselves) to paste them on their cards. Then,
ask them to circle greetings in green, farewells in red and courtesy expressions in blue.
Review vocabulary related to classroom objects. Play I spy with Ss by saying I spy with my little eye something beginning that begins with W and Ss try to guess the object
(e.g. window).
Have Ss familiarize with the writing of classroom objects. Then, label the classroom pasting the names of different objects incorrectly. Ss work in teams to stick the labels to the
correct objects.

Stage 4
Divide the group into two teams, boys and girls. Tell them they are going to play a game in which they have to look for the same phrase using their greeting and courtesy cards.
Explain that a girl turns over a card and the rest of the girls find their match. If they dont find the match, its the boys turn to play. Tell them to continue until all cards have
been matched. The winner is the team with the most pairs at the end of the game
Organize Ss in pairs. Ask them to take their puppets out and act out and repeat courtesy expressions in order to create a short dialogue: Please, Thank you, May I go to
________? Can I go to ________? Nice to meet you, Youre welcome, How are you?, Fine, thank you, and Welcome.
Stage 5 Have Ss display the cards around the classroom and encourage them to use the cards as much as possible to communicate ideas among Ss and teacher.
