Welcome to the 'Let’s Write in Welsh!' pack.
***** Please note - these resources provide visual prompts and support to the students, not direct language instruction **************
There are lots of ways of using this teaching pack. It could be used as writing assessment for students learning Welsh. The students could write about a topic in Welsh before starting a unit, and then write again about the topic, using the second worksheet at the end of the topic to see how much they have progressed.
This pack contains a 31 Teaching Activity Teacher Guide using these photo flash cards. These activities are quick and fun to do and will improve both your students' memory and vocabulary skills.
It could also be used as an introduction to guided writing. Students can write sentences as a class and share the sentences together and they can then write them on their own. Alternatively, students could work in pairs - one student dictates to the other what to write down about what they see in the picture.
These pages could also be used to write different stories, using the pictures as a stimulus.
Welcome to the 'Let’s Talk in Welsh!' pack.
This set of cards looks at 57 different settings. The teacher describes something in the top card. The students then use this to model a sentence using the bottom set of pictures. There are lots of things to see and describe in every picture. When the students have completed this task, they can repeat it by working in pairs to discuss each picture.
There are lots of different ways you could use this pack. You could laminate them into two cards and get each student to talk about what they had seen in their picture.

Are you learning Welsh? Are you looking for a fun way to learn Welsh? I have developed a way to learn different languages based on my experience as an ESL teacher. This pack has 57 different settings for students to talk about in Welsh. The worksheets themselves are in English and the students do need to translate the places and objects they see into Welsh. At the end of the session, the students can play a fun game of word bingo to show they have mastered that day's vocabulary. Try it, it is a lot of fun for everyone!
