We would all love to have our kids have a rich vocabulary. A quick way that I love to use is to use different greetings each morning. Its a really simple way to show students that there is more than one way to say something. I provided a list of some of my favorites. Feel free to add one of your own by leaving a comment.
Hello
Isn't this a glorious day?
Good morning my most (adj.) class.
I love your cheerful attitudes this morning.
Welcome to school on this magnificent morning.
I'm pleased to be inside our warm classroom. Outside it is just frigid.

Set some time in the morning for students to greet each other. You might notice that students start to use some of the new vocabulary that you've used in your greetings. This practice allows students to not just be passive recipients of language but lets them practice new words. It also lets them develop good social habits.
