Two nice simple activities that relates to the topic of Fast Food. Word searches keep my lot occupied for ages! For lower ability groups I find these activities great for vocabulary recognition and for giving students a sense of achievement with tasks before moving them onto written expression tasks. There are other resources relating to this topic in my shop. Enjoy! Claddagh Classrooms. Clipart by Kate Hadfield designs

An Nollaig - Activities as Gaeilge (In Irish)

(1)
This resource contains three resources for a lesson in Irish. The first is a Bingo game, using Christmas vocabulary (See my display resource for that vocabulary) The second is a puzzle where students need to orientate themselves through a puzzle. This can be done using directions. (One person is blind folded and they must direct their partner around the puzzle) Or this resource can be used as a simple starter. The third resource is a word search. Each activity focuses oral skills and new vocabulary. It's a lovely way to finish the term off and also a way to keep students engaged in their final lesson.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Display - St. Patrick's Day Display as Gaeilge

(1)
UPDATED 2020 Simple display cards to get your room and your students in the festive Irish spirit. My students love St. Patrick’s Day and the display is nice when surrounded by students work. Alternatively use the activity attached also. I use these as a game first to introduce the vocabulary to my students. They are placed around my room and students are given a list of St. Patrick’s Day vocabulary in English. They then have to find the Irish equivalent. It’s nice to watch students discover the vocabulary themselves as opposed to looking at a PowerPoint and writing everything down in a vocabulary book. Once the lesson is finished they can go onto a display board. Please note this is a .pdf only:) Bain taitneamh as:)
