A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use page 1 for learners and page 2 as the marked key. Preview Ireland, March, shamrock and clover.
- Read the twelve targets, separating place and month names from activities and symbols.
- Search in any direction and check each complete target against the marked puzzle.
- Group music, dance and parade as event features and shamrock and green as symbols; describe a public celebration in two sentences.
Support and extension
Provide first-letter locations or a shorter list. Extend by discussing how music can represent culture. Avoid reducing Irish culture to party stereotypes; the puzzle is vocabulary practice, not a complete history lesson.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
