Directions:
Play a "Hello" game at a time when family members are gathered together. Let everyone know that to play the game, you have to practice what you would say to someone if you wanted to get to know him better.
Turn to look at the person sitting to your right and say, "Hello! My name is _____." The person should reply "Hello! It's nice to meet you. My name is _____."
Then, it's that person's turn to introduce herself to the person sitting to her right. Continue going around until everyone has had a turn.
Give your child opportunities to put the "Hello" game into action by visiting a park and encouraging her to say, "Hello" to a child she would like to meet.
