HELLO, HELLO! Learning English Through Music
Topic: Greetings
Level: A1
Keep this opening warm and energetic. Briefly point to the greeting words on the slide and tell students they will learn English through music, listening and speaking.
Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson, students can:
Identify basic greetings
Understand when to use different greetings
Practise pronunciation
Use greetings in a short conversation
The teacher prompt asks for several outcomes. Present them simply, but keep the lesson centred on recognising and using greetings in context.
Which English greeting do you already know?
Use this as a warm-up after the learning objective. Accept simple words or short phrases such as hello, hi, goodbye, good morning. Briefly notice which greetings students already know before teaching the full set.
Stress the key difference: 'Good evening' is a greeting. 'Good night' is usually for leaving late or before sleep. Model each phrase clearly.

Finish the greeting rules
We can say Hello or Hi at any time. In the evening, we say Good evening. Before sleep, we say Good night.
This anchors the load-bearing vocabulary and especially the difference between Good evening and Good night.
