Partnership Management Board
Primary Irish Module 2
Preface
This series of twelve Units has been written as a follow-up Module to introduce the
Irish language in a cultural context to early learners in Primary Schools. The
emphasis is very much on fun and enjoyment, and the main aim of the games and
other activities is to stimulate the children’s natural enthusiasm for language
learning.
Learning a language opens up an exciting new world of culture and customs to the
children, and the benefits of broadening their horizons at Primary level will stay
with them for the rest of their lives.
Permission to use this resource has been given to schools taking part in Northern
Ireland’s regional Primary Modern Languages Programme commencing May 2008.
This programme has been funded by Northern Ireland’s Department of Education
and is delivered under the auspices of the regional Project Management Board. The
teaching materials are designed for use by a visiting tutor with a very good
command of the Irish language. For any other copying or use of the activities in
this Module, permission must first be sought in writing.

Effective Practice in Teaching Languages to Young Learners
• Fun and Enjoyment ☺ ☺ – Let’s make the children’s
first experience of a foreign language a positive one!
• Activity / game based. Children learn through play –
emphasis on doing or making.
• Avoid grammar jargon.
• Lots of varied repetition – a variety of games and
activities to reinforce vocabulary being taught, using a
multi-sensory approach.
• Encouragement and praise. This helps to build selfconfidence. Correct errors gently.
• Cultural context – similarities / differences / customs /
festivals.
• Encourage good pronunciation and intonation – younger
children can ‘mimic’ the sounds more accurately and enjoy
doing so.
• Relevant topics – relevant to the age of the children you
are teaching.
4
• Transferable skills – listening &speaking / social skills /
presentation skills / music / drama / dance /ICT
/numeracy
• Careful lesson planning – If you are not sure what you
are doing when you walk into a classroom, you will be
stressed, and with good cause! Have everything to hand
that you need for the class – photocopies / CD player
/soft ball / flashcards etc. A lesson plan helps establish a
‘comfort zone’ for the children and promotes confidence.
Keep things fresh by varying the pace of lessons- a mix
of high-energy activities and quieter moments.
(Learning objectives and outcomes / activities / materials
/ reflect and evaluate).
• Display activity sheets / art-work/ ICT related
worksheets – this is motivational for the children,
especially if you have added an extra comment –
iontach maith! / ar fheabhas! / ar doigh!
• Let the children perform and present what they have
learned –to parents, pupils or even Irish visitors.
• Be dramatic! Lose your own inhibitions. The response will
amaze you!
• Above all, be enthusiastic - Much of the magic of
teaching comes from the teacher’s enthusiasm!
5
Ceacht 1
This is the first contact with a foreign language that many of the children will have
had and it is important to create enthusiasm for the language from the start. Be
enthusiastic yourself . . . and smile! A positive attitude from the teacher is a
necessary factor to ensure success.
Try to create an informal, ‘fun’ atmosphere where children learn at their own pace
without stress – an atmosphere where they can develop confidence in the language.
Shower them with praise and encouragement! (ar fheabhas, an-mhaith, iontach
maith, ar dóigh etc!)
Bring some visual aids to the first lesson – a map of Ireland, a flag, posters, and
doll in traditional costume. (Bring something related to your province /country).
Talk with the children informally about Ireland. They are usually eager to show you
what they know! Ask if anyone knows the capital of Ireland. What do they think
about when they think of Ireland?
6
Dia duit/Dia ’s Muire duit, Maidin mhaith
Throw a soft ball to the children as you greet them and encourage them to
‘echo’ the greeting back to you. You could do this is a variety of voices.
Lead children in a Mexican Wave using ‘Dia duit’ and ‘Maidin mhaith’ – groups
of 5-6 work well (or tables). If you are enthusiastic about this activity the
children will respond with enthusiasm!
...is ainm dom/an t-ainm atá orm. Cad is ainm duitse?/Cén t-ainm atá
ort?/Cá hainm atá ort. Page: 7
However the easiest and most commonly used form of this phrase is, ‘Cé thusa?’ and, ‘Is
mise……’ The other forms would be good as an extension activity for older pupils who have
grasped the first concept very well.
Introduce yourself in Irish and then translate the names of the children into Irish
or give them a new Irish name. These are the names they will use in the Irish class.
Normally most children are delighted with this, but some younger children may get
anxious. Let them keep their own names - and they can try saying them with an
Irish accent!
If you have a puppet you could introduce it to the children – this works well,
especially with younger ones. Vary your voice and be as dramatic as possible.
Uimhreacha
Teach numbers 1-10 (or 1-6 depending on ability of class). Teach the numbers with
rhythm and actions.
7
Amhrán – Use some well know music for this and teach the song with dance
movements. Children are very good at improvising movements themselves.
Deir Ó Grádaigh
Teach the children simple commands by playing a game of ‘Simon Says’: Seas suas
/ suigh síos / léim suas/síos / déan damhsa / stad / éist / amharc /siúil
thart / bualadh bos / lámha suas / lámha síos/ tiontaigh thart/iompaigh
thart/ cas thart
(Choose a selection according to ability of children).
Activity sheet: Leárscáil na hÉireann
Mention names of cities /towns and talk about cultural aspects
Review lesson by asking children what they have learned and what they have
enjoyed.
Finish by smiling and saying ,
Chífidh/ Feicfidh mé arís sibh, Slán, slán

Ceacht 2
Teacher greets class with Dia duit, Maidin mhaith!
Encourage children to repeat greeting to you. (I cannot hear you … os ard, le bhur
dtoil! OS ARD, LE BHUR DTOIL! Ar fheabhas! Ar dóigh! Etc
Teach ‘Go raibh maith agat’ and get children to repeat and use this throughout
the Unit.
Revision of Cad is ainm duit/ Cad é an t-ainm atá ort? … is ainm dom/an
t-ainm atá orm.
Throw soft ball to various children asking their name. Give lots of praise and
encouragement! ☺

Revise numbers with song or rhythm chant.
• Cad é mar atá tú? Asking people how they are
Show flashcard of sad / happy (or draw these on blackboard)
‘’Maith’ ‘iontach maith’ ‘ar fheabhas’ ‘measartha’ ‘ar dóigh’ ………….agus tú féin?
(and you?)
Throw the ball, asking children how they are: Cad é mar atá tú (inniu)?
Encourage a response from them. Many will eagerly shout back ‘ar dóigh!’ or ‘go
measartha!’ ‘go hiontach maith’ takes a little more practice. Make this activity as
dramatic as possible!
•
Get children to practise this vocabulary in pairs with a role play activity.

•
Dathanna
Teach 4 colours with the aid of coloured flashcards.
Dearg / buí / glas / gorm
Ask children to ‘seas suas’ and to move around the room touching objects
according to the colour you call out.
Bain don dath dearg! (dearg! DEARG!) Bain don dath glas! Keep this lively and
animated!
•
Dath sna ceithre choirnéal
☺
☺
☺
Put flashcards or large coloured objects in each corner of the room. Put on
music and children move about. When music stops, teacher calls out a colour,
e.g buí! Children have to run to the yellow corner. Ask them if they are sure
Cinnte? (An bhfuil tú cinnte?) Tá mé cinnte!
•
•
To finish, a game of Deir Ó Grádaigh (if time permits).
Mambo - what about letting the children work out a dance routine to the
music as a PE activity? This could be performed at a future concert/
parent’s evening.
Go raibh maith agaibh. Chífidh/Feicfidh mé arís sibh / Slán.

Start the lessons with the usual greetings – Dia duit, Maidin mhaith!
• Teach Tráthnóna maith duit! / Oíche mhaith!
Get the children to do a Mexican wave in groups using, Maidin mhaith /
Tráthnóna maith duit / Oíche mhaith!
Cad is ainm duitse/cad é an t-ainm atá ort? (with ball) …… is ainm
domh/an t-ainm atá orm.
Encourage the childen to give you the name of a famous actor / actress / pop
singer / t.v. personality. Bart Simpson / Dora / Noddy is ainm dom. Take the
opportunity to mention the names of some well-known Irish celebrities e.g.
golfers / tennis players / actors / cartoon characters / pop singers.

Maidin mhaith a Rí / a Bhanríon
This is an adaptation of a drama game that can be used at any time during the
module. It is great fun and the children love to act out this role-play.
(Particularly suitable for younger children although I have used it successfully
with P6/7 as well). First of all ask them to ‘Seas suas’ and practice saying
‘Maidin mhaith, a Rí / a Bhanríon’ while taking a dramatic bow/curtsy! Then a
volunteer comes to sit up at the front on a chair. He/she is the ‘Rí’ or ‘Banríon’.
(I have a crown that I use for the boys and a tiara for the girls). The volunteer
is blind-folded. Everyone is very quiet. Teacher points to a pupil who stands up,
bows and says (in a disguised voice!): Maidin mhaith, a Rí / a Bhanríon! The
class then says: ‘Cé hé seo? The King/Queen has to guess the name of the
person speaking (two guesses only!). They come up and take their turn as the
King/Queen.
12
• Cad é mar atá tú?
Use the ball once again. Encourage good pronunciation. Ar dóigh, agus tú
féin?/Go measarthaa /go holc - (once again encourage a dramatic
response!)
•
Go over colours with flashcards / coloured objects. Add bán / dubh. Play a
game of Bain! using six colours.
• Cluiche – Athraigh cathaoir!
☺ ☺
You need space for this game. All children sit in a circle on chairs. Give
everyone the name of a colour or a piece of coloured card – glas / dearg / bán
/ gorm, making sure several children have the same colour. Teacher stands in
the middle of the circle and calls out GLAS! All children who have the colour
green have to get up and change chairs and the teacher has to try and get an
empty chair. The child (or teacher!) left without a chair becomes the caller. If
the caller says ATHRAÍGÍ – everyone has to get up and change their seat.

Start the lessons with the usual greetings. Dia duit, Maidin mhaith!
Cad is ainm duitse/Cad é an t-ainm atá ort? Cad é mar atá tú?
Asking these familiar questions every week helps to put the children at their
ease and they look forward to starting the class this way and readily respond.
Use the ball and keep things lively!
•
Teach three more colours – bándearg /dath an oráiste /corcra /
(corcairghorm) using flashcards or striking coloured objects. Once all these
colours have been introduced and after playing a few games of Kim’s game, you
would normally play Colour Bingo here. You could use feathers but you can use
any object you like. Give the children a variety of coloured feathers, usually 3
or 4 depending on class size and then start calling the colours. The children
must hold the colour up if they have it (so you can tell that they have the right
colour and also maybe to help children who aren’t so sure of their colours yet),
then when all their colours have been called they must say Bingo. The first child
to call Bingo is then called up and asked to call the colours the next time,
Colours are swapped and the game begins again.
Go quickly over other colours asking Cén dath é seo? glas! dearg!
15
• Cluiche: An Práta te
☺
☺
☺
Using the ball ……… throw to one pupil at a time. They then throw it back to you
saying a colour, e.g gorm. They must not say the same colour as the previous
person, but apart from this rule, colours can be repeated – ie not glas / gorm
/gorm but glas /gorm / glas is fine. Explain that the ball is ‘’An Prata te’
……….Dófaidh sé tú!! For this reason, the children can only hold on to it for a
few moments before saying a colour. If they hold on too long, cannot think of a
colour or say the same colour as the person before them, the ‘an buama’
explodes and they are out and have to sit down Dóite! Amuigh! or the more
gentle,Slán
Another great game for this is called, ‘Head to Head. All children line up in two
lines in front of me and the two at the front each time must close their eyes,
after three they open their eyes and must tell me the colour that I am holding.
The first to call the colour wins and goes to the back of the line and the other
child sits down. This continues until you have a winner. A fantastic game that
can be played with all different sorts of vocabulary like the foods, classroom
object flashcards, animals etc.

Uimhreacha - Revise number 1 – 10
Use the blackboard and ask certain children to write a number for you – A
Mhicheáil, Scríobh uimhir a cúig le do thoil. The rest of the class has to say
if the number written is right or wrong – Fíor / bréagach? (Ceart/ Mícheart,
Contráilte).The teacher then writes some numbers on the board (1 – 10) and
asks one child at a time to erase a certain number –A Shéan, glan amach
uimhir a cúig le do thoil. Once again,

This activity usually works well as the children are not normally allowed to write
on the blackboard!

Start the lessons with the usual introductions. When asking – Cad é mar atá
tú?Add tuirseach (yawn) and brónach
(Older children can learn: Tá mé tuirseach / maith go leor / brónach etc)
You can get the children to come up to the front of the classroom and mime how
they feel – ar dóigh! / measartha / go holc/ brónach / tuirseach / feargach.
The rest of the class have to guess the mime and say the word in Spanish. You
can ask: Cad é mar atá Siobhán? Children reply: Tá sí brónach/ feargach etc
Some children will be happy to ‘act’ in front of the class while others will need
more coaxing. Encourage, but do not force the children to perform.
Large dice are good at this point. The dice have various different feeling words
or pictures on the sides and when the child rolls the dice he must act out what
the dice tells him, the class must guess and then say the word together. Or he
must say how the dice tells him he is feeling and the class must repeat after
him.
Saying how old they are
Cén aois thú? Tá mé cúig bliana d’aois.
Tá mé sé bliana d’aois
•
22
Teach the vocabulary by throwing the ball and asking the children how old they
are. They throw the ball back and reply – Tá mé deich mbliana d’aois.
They can then practice in pairs asking each other their age.
A Cén aois thú?
B. Tá mé … bliana (mbliana) d’aois. Agus tú féin?
C Tá mise … bliana (mbliana) d’aois.
Revise numbers and add once / a dó dhéag /a trí déag / a ceathair déag /a
cúig déag.
Play a game of An lotto. Children write out 4 numbers on a piece of paper. The
teacher calls out numbers and the first child to cross out all 4 numbers shouts
‘bingo’ or lotto! Extra vocabulary to use can include – Tá an t-ádh ort! /
Drochádh! / Mór an trua! / An Buaiteoir

Most of the children will now know these questions very well and be able to
answer confidently. Remember to keep giving lots of praise when they give you
an answer and gently correct pronunciation when needed. Have fun with the
children. Let them know that you enjoy the classes. Be a performer, play the
role - and you will be rewarded by extremely enthusiastic listeners!
• Teach classroom objects
This is easy as you have plenty of wonderful visual aids around you – an
chathaoir / an tábla / an fhuinneog / an doras / an clár bán / an mála
scoile / an t-urlár/ an tsíleáil.
Let the children make simple classroom signs and display these around the
room. Ask – Cad é seo? An chathaoir / an clár bán / an doras etc.
* Cluiche - Bain!
Tell the children to Seas suas! and then to touch various objects around the
room. You can also add in some of the colours that they now know.
¡Bain don tábla / don chlár bhán / don fuinneog / don dath dearg etc.
Extra vocabulary to use – Ná rith! Gasta! Siúil! Ar fheabhas!

You will find as the weeks go by that the children will ask you to play the games
that they have enjoyed the most. Try to fit these in as best you can. The
classes are intended to be enjoyable for the pupils and they will retain the
vocabulary more easily if they are having fun doing an activity. The more
repetition the better when learning a language!

Greet the children in the usual manner, but give more emphasis to the question
Cén aois tú? They may not give their correct age in which case you ask the
class Ceart/ Mícheart/contráilte? Encourage them to respond (os ard) Ceart!
(or whatever)!)
Revise numbers up to 15 (quince) with a quick game on the blackbord of
‘Scríobh an uimhir’ / ‘Glan amach an uimhir!’ (ref Unit 4). Ask class
Fíor no bréagach? or Ceart / Micheart/contráilte?
You can vary this by writing two numbers on the blackboard and asking some of
the more able pupils Cén freagra atá air sin? Remember to give lots of
encouragement to the children as they participate in this activity – iontach
maith / ar dóigh / ar fheabhas / Bulaí fir/Girsí / Maith mo
ghasúr/ghirseach thú. It is one thing to know how to say the numbers, but it is
much more difficult to have to write them on a board. Remember, they do not
have to spell them, although some of the more able ones may well be able to do
this. Most will write figures only.

• You can also encourage the children to do simple head sums:
A cúig agus a trí sin ..?
A naoi lúide a dó sin ..?
A trí méadaithe ar a trí sin ..?

You can talk about the kinds of food that are common in Ireland:
Irish people eat a lot of sea-food (Iasc / Bia farraige).
Feoil

Cluiche - Leim an téad
Play this game with groups of 5 children. Put a long piece of rope or string
on the floor at the front of the classroom. There needs to be enough room
for the children to jump either side. Teacher stands in front facing children
holding up 2 flashcards (one in RH / one in LH) ie im / ceapaire. When you
call out ceapaire! children repeat the word and jump to the correct side and
similarly with im. If they make a mistake, they are out - Slán! You can
make the game harder by asking two children to hold up two more
flashcards.
Vocabulary to use:

• Bialann Bingo (Use card pictures on pages 55 and 56)
Children are given a bingo card with 4 food / drink items (one card between 2 / 3
children). The teacher, who has a small pack of bingo cards, turns one over, holds
it up and calls out the name of the food / drink.
An caife – children who have this picture on their Bingo board have to raise their
hand. Teacher picks the first hand up.
Child says Caife, le do thoil! (insist on this). Ask them to repeat the word several
times (nios airdr / nios ciún). Teacher then gives them the card.
The first group to have their board covered shout ‘Bingo’ no ‘an bille le do thoil
This game is excellent for reinforcing vocabulary and the children usually
participate well.
Rann – An Haka Gealach (audio cd available from Mo cheol thú!, Dánta,
amhráin agus Damhsaí)
Go over the new vocabulary – Uillinn, deas / clé, Gualainn, Cromaigí, Éirígí,
léimigí, and sing with all the actions!
The rhyme is easy but it needs careful repetition and lots of enthusiasm to put it
across to the children!
Activity sheet – Bialann items to learn and colour in.
These can be pasted onto card and then cut out. Each child should have his/her
own set of cards for future games and activities.

reply Tá mé i mo chonaí in Aontroim! – all the children who are in the Aontroim
corner are out (Slán!) and have to sit down (Suigh Síos).
Game continues until most children are eliminated.

Athbhreithniú
Introductions: Cad é mar atá sibh? / Cén aois thú? Cá bhfuil tú ina chonaí?
Bogadh!
Bain don – doras / ..fhuinneog / ..tábla / ..chathaoir / ..ghasúr / ..chailín /
..dath dearg / ..dath glas.
Ask - Cá mhéad fuinneog sa seomra ranga? Cá mhéad doras sa seomra
ranga? Encourage the children to count them in Irish.
Holding up your hands you can then ask – Cá mhéad méar? The person who
guesses correctly then gets the chance to hold up hands and ask the question.
• Number Game
All children stand – Seas suas!
34
You throw the ball to the children who throw it back to you saying numbers
consequently – a haon / a dó / a trí / a ceathair – suas go dtí a cúig déag. If
they say the wrong number or drop the ball, they lose a leg (caill cos! ) ie they have
to stand on one leg! If they answer correctly the next ball is thrown to them, they
stand up normally, if they get it wrong again they lose two legs (caill dhá chos!)
and they have to kneel on the floor. After that they lose an arm (caill lámh!). This
is probably far enough as it is hard to catch the ball on the floor with only one
hand!!
The children usually enjoy this game and it is great for number revision.
Another variation of the game is to throw the ball as usual but get the children to
substitute a Irish word for every 5th number. Ref English game ‘Buzz’ – e.g. a
haon, a dó, a trí, a ceathair, Milseán! A sé, a seacht, a hocht, a naoi,
Milseán! etc

• An Corp
Introduce parts of the body by playing Deir Ó Grádaigh ……..Bain dó!
Ceann / lámha / cosa (feet and legs) / béal/ súile / srón (gaosán) / guaillí /
glúine (Teach 5/6 new words to begin with, including ceann, guaillí, glúine, cosa –
these are for a new song! )
Imitate all the actions yourself while playing this game in order to give the children
as much help as possible.
Page: 36
A great song for the body parts is the Irish version of Singing in the Rain which
works very well with the older children. The words are as follows:
Ag canadh san fhearthainn
Ag canadh san fhearthainn
Nach iontach an saol
36
Tá áthas orm arís
Call out, Stopaigí, stopaigí, stopaigí and the children all shout, Oi, Oi, Oi after
you. Then you shout different things and the children must copy you, I usually use
the same order nearly always but you can mix it up and change and add as you
please.
Lámha amach (you put your hands out stretched in front of you and then say)
Aru cha cha, aru cha cha, aru cha cha cha. The children will need to copy you a
few times at the start and should always repeat the body actions after you but
should sing aru cha cha with you.
Then it’s back to Ag canadh san fhearthainn and stopaigí, stopaigí, stopaigí again
this time add one more e.g.
Lámha amach,
Uillinneacha isteach
Cos san aer
Tóin amach
Teanga amach
By the time you get to teanga the children should have copied all the other actions
first, so you should all be standing on one leg in very funny positions with your
tongues out!
This is fantastic for the body parts as it involves lots of repetition etc.
•
New game of Bain dó!
☺
☺
☺
Go over parts of the body by touching all the different parts and getting the
children to repeat.
Try and have the children sitting around you in a circle on the floor for this game
with you in the middle. If this is not possible, you will have to improvise as best
you can.
Teacher goes around the circle / classroom saying: Bainim dó dó, bainim, BAINIM
DÓ … (build up the excitement!) … mo cheann!
The children must cover their heads as quickly as possible before you touch
anyone’s head! Continue the game Bainim do, bainim do, BAINIM do… mo bhéal.
If you are able to touch a child’s mouth before they cover it, let that child take
over from you.
You can play this game with a puppet if you wish.
37
As with most of the other games in this module, this game needs you the teacher
to bring life in your class. Try to ‘let go’ and enjoy yourself.

Praise, Display, Present!
This is the final Unit of this ‘taster’ module and gives you the chance to go over
much of the vocabulary learned throughout the previous Units. The children may
even be able to perform some of the songs or games in front of other classes or
teachers. Children are usually enthusiastic when it comes to performing as they
will generally be keen to show off what they know. If there are Irish Comenius
partners making a visit to the school, this gives another opportunity for the pupils
to perform and say a few words in Irish. Presenting what the children have
learned is very motivating for them. Displaying their activity sheets/art-work
around the classroom is good for self-esteem.

You may like to take advantage of this final week by telling the children
about Christmas in Ireland.
1. Lá Nollag – tradition for families to gather together to eat a large
meal
2. Cáca na nollag
3. Children writing their letters to ‘Daidí na Nollag.
4. Anything else that you think would be of interest!
Christmas customs/traditions in other countries are interesting for
the children and learning about them helps to broaden their outlook
and inspire their imagination.
