Va bene
Cosi cosi
Non sto bene
Sto male
E tu?
How are you?

I am fine
So-so
I am not good
I am bad
And you?
Come stai?
Sto bene!
Va bene!
Cosi cosi!
Non sto bene!
Sto Male!
E tu?
Embedding the language
Start each day with asking Come stai?
Around the class.
Create Come stai? cards for pupils with
printed off miniature copies of the
smileys. Ask Come stai? at the start of
the day, after break, after lunch and ask
pupils to choose their answer and say it to
a partner or around the class.
I am aware of and able to express my feelings and am developing the ability to talk
about them.
