Pronunciation is a rough guide. If your child's teacher says it differently, go with the teacher.

How to use this at home

Your child practises 8 Irish words about animals, seeing each picture and its Irish word together. Flashcards are the quickest way to build the core vocabulary that school Irish lessons keep coming back to.

  1. Print on card or heavier paper if you can. If your printer prints double-sided, print page 2 on the back (flip on the long edge) so each card has its English meaning behind it.
  2. Hide the cards around a room. Each time your child finds one, they say the Irish word before they can collect it.
  3. Play "guess the animal": describe it in English and your child answers in Irish.
