👋 Little Stars 1: Magic Hello
A complete 45-minute teacher-led lesson that opens the Little Stars Compact 36 journey. It follows the fixed Hello Routine, introduces the greeting chunks “Hello!”, “Hi!” and “Bye-bye!”, and builds to the first self-introduction chunk “I’m (name)!”. The material runs on a large screen and is driven by the teacher: a wake-up puppet ritual, tap-to-hear word cards, a four-line Hello Song with actions and two speed rounds, a name-builder where the puppet asks and each child answers, a peek-a-boo listening game with three stars, and a roll-the-ball circle game. Nothing is read or written by the children. A closing teacher screen carries the full minute-by-minute plan, materials list, support and challenge notes, the 30-minute adaptation and the home connection.
