ALTERNATIVE
If you only have a few students in your class, the following idea might be of help.
1. Copy the board game on to thicker paper.
2. Cut the boxes out of the board game so that you will have individual cards.
3. Do Step 1 and Step 2 as above.
4. Spread the cards evenly on the desk. Put them face down so that students cannot see the writing.
5.Tell students that they have to give you an appropriate greeting based on the time they see.To model
it, pick up a card and turn it over; see who gives you the quickest response.The quickest student with
the correct greeting can keep the card as tricks.
