    after I took rc2.. I bought 6 recipe files and notecards and my greeting comes from that..I look at any skills we need to cover in the school year.. and I make groupings as follows..

    states and capitols
    present tense and past tense
    Onomatopedia vroom.. car

    These are just a few examples.. I have 100's of these

    I take out 20 cards .. one for each child.. 10 pairs.. and I mix them up and lay them on the floor.. when they come to MM they take a card.. the pairs greet after I explain what they have in common.. or I let them figure out the category.. They greet in the middle and hi 5 or elbow tap, or what ever we decide.. They place the cards in a box and one class job is to put them away..

    I have a number in the corner to help me pair them up quickly It really is the best thing I have implimented in my room in a LONG time.. they LOVE it

    some groups are more than 2

    all nouns greet in the middle
    anyone whose math problem is even and less than 10
    anyone whose math problen is odd and less than 10 etc

    I do mix this up with "screamin eyes" "ball greeting" and timed etc.. here is a web bite
