Making Friends Across Borders: Stories, Greetings, and Connections

Students introduce themselves with their names, favorite activities, and a simple greeting. They create a short video or draw a picture to go with their introduction, then watch and listen to their partner class do the same.

Students explore what a typical day looks like at home and at school, then compare it with their partner class through pictures, drawings, and simple descriptions. They identify similarities and differences in daily routines, meals, play, and school activities.

Students learn about special celebrations, festivals, and traditions in their community and share them with their partner class through stories, drawings, or short videos. They listen to their partners' traditions and talk about what makes each one special.

Students join a real-time video call with their partner class to greet each other, play simple games, ask questions, and practice English together. The teacher guides the conversation to keep it fun and helps students feel confident speaking.

Students review all the videos and pictures from their partner class, match faces with names and stories, and create a simple poster or digital album showing what they learned about their new friends.

Students present what they learned about their partner class to their families or school community. They share favorite greetings, traditions, and fun facts, and reflect on how they felt making friends in another country.
