Every morning when I mark the roll I greet each child individually by saying 'good morning / hello' in a different language.
Usually I just choose one of the top off my head or the children suggest one.
Tonight I made up some laminated cards with different greetings from all over the world on them, and I'm going to put them in a box and pick them out randomly.
It's kind of fun the kids enjoy it.
I'm also thinking we could make some up. Our own unique greetings!!!
