Celebrate diversity and create an inclusive learning environment with this set of over 40 multicultural greeting signs that will help every child and their family to feel a sense of belonging in your classroom, by learning, sharing, and using greetings in their language.
These “hello” wall posters would be fantastic in a school entry or hallway, or in your classroom. Your class could learn how to say hello in a different language every week, with children who speak the language of the week getting to be the expert.
The designs include flags of all the countries in the world and the words are written in the script of the language.
These signs look great printed on photo paper, or print them and laminate them.
I’ve created 5 sets specifically tailored to the 38 most commonly spoken languages in the U.S, U.K, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, along with up to 7 of the most commonly spoken indigenous languages in each of those countries.
As it’s not possible to include signs for all languages, I have included an editable version, so that no child has to miss out.
2 per page and 4 per page options included.
If you prefer a different design, you may like this similar set and if you prefer this version but with the transliterations and no script, check out this set.
I hope you enjoy displaying these posters in your classroom or workplace.

This grammar game to practise “a” and “an” is so much fun, and children love that they’re the expert on the card they’re holding, and they love teaching others when they don’t know the answer. And they love trading!
This pack comes with 28 cards that children use to quiz each other.
How to play:
Cut out the cards, fold in half, and give each child one card.
Children move about the room with the question “a or an” facing other students. A child (Child A) shows their question to another child (Child B) who answers using “a/an + noun”. If they’re not sure, child A can tell the answer, because it’s all about learning. Child B then quizzes child A. After guessing, child A and child B swap cards and each move on to someone new to quiz.
You could use this activity at the start of your lesson to get children eager to learn more, or use it as an energizer, a fun finisher, or review activity.
I hope your children have fun playing and learning at the same time!
If you love getting kids up and moving, this game will be ideal to practise their grammar and have fun at the same time!
Children play in teams, just like a relay, taking turns to correctly complete a card, racing to complete all 10 questions.
This pack comes with five different sets of 10 questions for children to answer.
Game 1 – write “a” or “an” for each noun
Game 2 – write “a” or “an” for each noun phrase
Game 3 – write “a” or “an” for the three nouns on the card
Game 4 – challenge level which includes words where the beginning letter is a vowel but makes a consonant sound, or a consonant which is silent and makes a vowel sound
Game 5 – right or wrong (if it’s correct, children write “right” and if it’s wrong, children correct the sentence)
This game is a great energiser, a fun finisher or an exciting review activity. However you choose to use it, your students will love you for it!
Quizzes are so much fun, so let’s do one for grammar with “a” and “an”!
With this PowerPoint slide deck there are 25 editable questions.
The first five (1-5) are fill-in-the-gap with “a” or “an”.
With the next five (6-10), children decide if the sentence is correct and write “right” if it is, or correct it if it’s wrong.
Questions 11-15 are true or false questions.
Questions 16-20 are a challenge as children think of a word that goes after “a” or “an” depending on the category.
Questions 21-25 are harder gap fill questions (hour, unicorn, etc.)
Slides 27-28 are blank slides if you’d like to add your own questions. Slides 29-55 are the answers.
You will receive a PPTX file (text is editable, images aren’t).
