Sing Hello In Different Language

Hello Song(from Scholastic)

( This tune is familiar to Pre-K and K students)

Hello, hello. Hello and how are you?I’m fine. I’m fine.

And I hope that you are, too.Hola, hola. Hola and how are you?

I’m fine. I’m fine.And I hope that you are, too.

ACTIVITYTalk with your child about people from different countries. How are people all over the world alike? How are they different? Explain that, although people may speak different languages, we all say many of the same things.

Ask your child, “Why do people say hello?” Encourage your child to share a few ways her family members and friends greet one another.

Explain that together you’ll learn how children in other countries say hello. 

Spanish, hola (pronounced OH-la); French, bonjour (bon-ZHOOR); German, guten tag (GOOT-en tog); Hebrew, shalom (shah-LOAM); Mandarin Chinese, Ni hao (nee-ha-OW).

*Be sure to include languages of places you have vacationed or plan on visiting.
