Greetings and Songs Exchange

Students meet the partner class through a short live video call and learn three simple Swahili greetings with gestures. They talk about how each greeting is used when saying hello.

Students practice the three Swahili greetings and learn a short Swahili song through games, actions, and repetition. They help each other remember the words and the moments when each greeting is used.

Each child chooses one favorite word in their own language and draws a picture of it with a Swahili translation. They practice saying hello and sharing that word with a partner in the class.

Students work in pairs to greet each other in Swahili, notice how it feels to be greeted, and practice showing kindness and respect. They then share what they noticed with the class.

Students perform the Swahili song, greet the partner class, and share their favorite word in a shared video or live call. Each child says hello and reflects together on what they learned about the partner class.
