Da notare! Buongiorno, Buona sera and Buona notte
Buongiorno is used to greet people during the day
until about half past five/six oclock Buonasera
is then used to greet people from around half
past five/six oclock in the evening, but in many
Italy town it is also used after 1.00 pm.
Buonanotte is then used (mostly to say goodbye
more than hello just like in English) late at
night or to say good night when someone is going
to bed.

Embedding the language

• Using the greetings as part of everyday routine
  in class e.g. Buongiorno at the start of
  everyday, a domani at the end of the day and buon
  fine settimana on a Friday at the end of the
  school day!
• Do the register in Italian each morning teacher
  says, Facciamo lappello and pupils respond
  with presente or presente and can also say
  assente or assente for missing pupils.
• Use a Buongiorno and/or an Arrivederci song at
  the start and end of each day.
• Buona vacanza can be used at the start of the
  holidays. If you would like to ask if they had
  good holidays it is Hai avuto una buona
  vacanza?

Musical Buongiorno

1. Pupils walk around the class whilst some Italian
   music plays. As they walk around, they should
   greet each other saying Buongiorno!
2. Teacher then plays more lively music and everyone
   skips and mimes wearing a backpack and waving to
   each other and saying a domani to each other.
3. Music gets even livelier and pupils now dance
   about saying buon fine settimna!
4. Lastly the music is sad and they pretend to cry
   and look sad, waving each other goodbye saying
   arrivederci!
