Greetings Word Cards

The Greetings Word Cards are a focused language resource designed to support students in learning, recognising and confidently using common greeting and farewell expressions in the target language.

Each card presents a single greeting or response clearly in the target language, supporting accurate recognition, reading, and recall. These cards help students move from recognising high-frequency social language to actively using it during classroom routines and conversational practice.

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, these Word Cards function as an instructional tool that supports explicit teaching, revision, and retrieval of essential everyday language.
