Learning Basic Greetings in Spanish

The instructor wrote down how to ask someone for their name, tell their name and then how to say hello, goodbye, good morning, good afternoon and good night.  She then had the class mingle around introducing themselves, asking others for their name and saying the correct time of day.  She then wrote down how to ask someone how they are and what the correct respond would be.  Everyone again had to mingle around, ask others how they were and have them respond back.  She then went around and asked the class individually these questions, to interpret their comprehension.
