The
High Five Game
Goals: to practice greetings;
to talk about cultures
1.
Teach the students how to shake hands or how to 'high
five' (two students raise their arms high and then slap
their upraised hands together). Then teach this introduction:
'Hello. I am (Maria).'
2. Begin the game by saying the introduction with your
own name and then shaking hands or giving the 'high
five' to a student. That student repeats the introduction
with his or her own name and then shakes hands with
or 'high fives' the teacher.
3. When the students understand what to do, have them
circulate around the room, find partners, say the introduction,
and continue circulating.
4. Stop the activity when all the students have practiced
several exchanges.
5. Invite students to tell how they say hello and greet
one another in other cultures.
