Siúlóid Lá Fhéile Pádraig
The aim of this resource is to create an active Gaeilge lesson where pupils get out of their desks to complete the task. Suitable for middle/senior classes, pupils have to find the 27 cards on the trail, identify the name of the item as Gaeilge on each card and fill it in on their answer sheet. This would be a great activity for Seachtain na Gaeilge.
