Spanish Level 1 Greetings

Vocabulary 1. Greetings Build into daily routines starting with Hola and Adiós and then gradually adding in more vocabulary as learners progress. ¡Hola! Hello ¡Hola todos! Hello all ¡Buenos dias señorita/señora! Hello Miss ¡Buenos dias señor! Hello Sir ¡Hola! Hi Hagamos la lista We will take the register ¡A dormir! Go to sleep ¡Buenas noches! Goodnight ¡Adiós!

¡Hola todos!

¡Buenos días señorita/señora!

¡Buenos días señor!

¡Hola!

¡Hacemos la lista!

¡Adiós!

¡Hasta mañana! See you tomorrow!

¡Buen fin de semana!

¡A dormir!

¡Buenas noches!

Embedding the language Using the greetings as part of everyday routine in class e.g. ¡Hola! at the start of everyday, ¡adios! at the end of the day and ¡Buen fin de semana! on a Friday at the end of the school day! Do the register in Spanish each morning – teacher says, “Hacemos la lista” and pupils respond with “hola”. Use a Buenos días song and/or an Adiós song at the start and end of each day.

¡Hola! y ¡Adiós! Pupils walk around the class whilst some Spanish music plays. As they walk around, they should greet each other saying Hola! Teacher then plays more lively music and everyone skips and mimes wearing a backpack and waving to each other and saying “adiós!” to each other. Music gets even livelier and pupils now dance about saying “Buen fin de semana!” Lastly the music is sad and they pretend to cry and look sad, waving each other goodbye saying “Adiós!”
