High five, Handshake, Hug…
Just because we’re apart, doesn’t mean we can’t do a virtual version of these greeting favorites! Invite your little ones to give each other a virtual high five up to their webcam. It’s not the same, but hey, it’s simple and they’ll love it.
Change Your Voice
Change your voice greetings are always a hit in kindergarten because they allow for just a little bit of silliness. Students can say “hello” like a pirate, a monster, or just with their own made up voice!
Get Up and Move
Here’s a way to say “good morning” and get out some energy. Have your class do a dance move, take a curtsy/bow, or spin around while they greet their friends.
Rainbow Greeting
Students wave their hands in a rainbow arch while greeting their friend
Microwave Greeting
Students wave their pinky finger while greeting their friend
Compliment Greeting

Alliteration/Adjective Greeting
