Splat!
Get yourself some flyswatters (or you can make something similar from card and paper) and get ready for a quick cluiche you can bring into any Gaeilge lesson.
Display your vocabulary on your whiteboard, on your Interactive Whiteboard on a display board, etc. Choose 2-3 contenders.
Call out one of your new words and the children then have to ‘swot’ the focal and say it.
Bonus point for them or their table if they can put it into a sentence and they could gain an extra ‘bonus bonus’ point if they can integrate it with your frása of the week/eiseamláir na seachtaine.
This game does require the vocabulary to be taught in advance but once the children know how to play it, they can even play it themselves with a pre-selected múinteoir during stations, wet yard days or as part of a soft start as they come into school in the mornings, etc.
