This wee booklet is good for vocabulary acquisition. Rather than giving students list of vocabulary and getting them to use it or just learn it, I like to scaffold for my less able pupils. I generally find with these tasks their retention is better. I then use these. I love using these type of activities for starters and plenaries too when we’re progressing to full sentences or fully written pieces.
The .PDF contains:
Two sheets sheet of farm animal portraits pictures where students can look up vocab or you can provide it.
Unscramble activity using the new vocabulary.
A fill in the gaps activity
A word search
A counting task using animal pictures (This also revises rules of bunuimhreacha neamhpearsanta)
Any issues email claddaghclassrooms@gmail.com and I’ll resolve them within 24 hours.

These are wee little cards that i print back to back, laminate and give them to my pupils. I expect that they try to use them when they’re communicating with me in lessons and I always have rewards on hand when they do. I love that they fit into their pencil cases and are with the students no matter what lesson they’re in.
I find them so effective!
