Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Pair a greeting with the reply that answers it, such as "How are you?" with "I'm fine, thank you!"

  • Complete a greeting sentence with the missing word, using context such as "I hope you slept well" to choose between morning, afternoon and evening

  • Match a greeting to the person, setting or moment that suits it, including a first meeting, a video call and a text message

Teaching tips

  • Choose among response matching, gap filling, situation choices, time/occasion matching and unscrambling to match the lesson.

  • Read greeting-and-response pairs aloud before students draw matching lines.

  • Discuss more than one suitable greeting when the social situation allows it.

Skills covered

  • Greeting and response pairing — students match ten openers to their replies, learning that "Nice to meet you!" is answered with "Nice to meet you too!" rather than with any polite phrase.

  • Time-of-day vocabulary — page 5 lines greetings up against 7:00 AM, 1:00 PM, 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM, separating good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night.

  • Spelling recall — the final page scrambles ten greetings, including whole questions such as "atW'h soryu mnea?", so students must reproduce the phrase letter by letter.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How do the six pages differ from one another?

Each takes the same greetings through a different task: matching greetings to responses, filling gaps in greeting sentences, matching people and moments to what they would say, choosing between two greetings for a situation, matching greetings to times of day, and unscrambling ten greetings letter by letter.

What does the final page ask students to do?

Unscramble ten greetings written with their letters jumbled — olHel for Hello, doGo ignonmr for Good morning, eGeodn viagne for Good evening — including two full questions and one self-introduction. Its heading repeats the line from the page before about times of day, but the task itself is spelling.

Are the two columns on the matching pages already lined up?

No — the right-hand column is deliberately shuffled. On page 1 "Hello!" sits opposite "Good evening!" and "How are you?" opposite "Bye!", so students have to draw across the page rather than read straight along a row.
