Hidden Picture Game - An Samhradh with FREE Word Mat

Hidden picture games are a fun, engaging way to develop and practise vocabulary. This game focuses on the vocabulary of 'An Samhradh' and it contains 16 images of different summer vocabulary items.

This resources comes with a FREE printable word mat showcasing the vocabulary used in the game. This printable is perfect for a display or for individual students to have at their desk!

How to play:

• Images are hidden behind the tiles.
• Students can either click the tiles themselves, on an interactive whiteboard or a tablet, or they can ask for a tile number to be selected by the teacher.
• When a tile is clicked, it disappears with a fun animated swivel. This reveals part of the background and, if they're lucky, part of the image.
• When students think they know the answer, they can select 'Taispeáin' and it will remove all remaining tiles and show the image with a label.

Teaching tip:

I like to play with the students in teams. Each round, one person from each team stands at the interactive whiteboard. They take it in turns to click a tile. If a student thinks they know the answer, they can say the answer and click 'Taispeáin' on their turn instead of hitting a tile. If they are correct, their team gets a point. If they are incorrect either no one gets a point, or the opposing teams all get a point, depending on which you prefer.
