Embedding the language

•Using the greetings as part of everyday routine in class e.g. Buongiorno at the start of everyday, a domani at the end of the day and buon fine settimana on a Friday at the end of the school day!•Do the register in Italian each morning – teacher says, “Facciamo l’appello” and pupils respond with presente or presente and can also say assente or assente for missing pupils. •Use a Buongiorno and/or an Arrivederci song at the start and end of each day.•Buona vacanza can be used at the start of the holidays. If you would like to ask if they had good holidays it is “Hai avuto una buona vacanza?”

Musical Buongiorno 1. Pupils walk around the class whilst some Italian

music plays. As they walk around, they should greet each other saying Buongiorno!

2. Teacher then plays more lively music and everyone skips and mimes wearing a backpack and waving to each other and saying “a domani” to each other.

3. Music gets even livelier and pupils now dance about saying “buon fine settimna!”

4. Lastly the music is sad and they pretend to cry and look sad, waving each other goodbye saying “arrivederci!”

Ascoltate la musica…

E fate buongiorno con il segno della mano!
