TitleIdeas for a 'Meet and Greet'
Body
A recent post to the FLTEACH listserv requesting ideas for a parent visitation night received the following replies.

When I was teaching high school I would begin my parent night presentation with a listening activity the students had done in class that day. It only took a minute or two and the parents left with a little more understanding of what actually was happening in their child's class.

My favorite and a perennial hit with the parents was to ask them to count and do TPR stuff in French- stand, sit, smile. No English. I gave them a handout with essential information in English- contact phone number, email, grade break down etc. Sometimes we'd sing Sur le pont d'Avignon. The kids reported that their parents liked it.
