Imagine meeting someone new and being able to confidently say, “Hello, my name is…” and then sharing something awesome about yourself. That's the power of a good greeting!
We will also learn how to introduce ourselves and others. Learning how to properly introduce yourself is like being a superhero with a superpower, and that superpower is making new friends.

We’ll play games like role-playing different scenarios, such as meeting someone at a park, at school, or even at a party.
