Baill an Choirp

Description

This resource is aimed at pupils in junior/middle classes who are beginning to learn the names of various body parts as Gaeilge.

Cut up the sheets into twenty-four separate cards and laminate them individually. Pupils should try to recognise the body part in the image on the left of the card and, if they are able to read, to match it to the word as Gaeilge on the right of the card by using a clothes peg. Alternatively, the teacher/SNA/supporting adult could read the words to the pupil and ask them which word matches the image on the card.

This activity is especially suitable for pupils who may not be able to write answers but can match the names of the body parts as Gaeilge. It is also good for fine motor skills in the manipulation of the pegs onto the cards.

This activity could be used in group work with a set being printed out for each pupil in the group.It could also be sent home as a homework task.
