You need

  • A globe or a world map (online is fine)

Let's play

  1. Learn a few ways to say hello: hola, bonjour, ni hao, namaste, jambo.
  2. Find each place on the globe or map.
  3. Sing a hello song using each word.
  4. Greet family members in a new language all day!
Grown-up tip: If someone you know speaks another language, ask them to teach you hello.
