Target Sheet 4: KEY WORDS (Prepositional Pronouns)
This Target Sheet is designed to get learners to act out situations and to encourage impromptu conversations. Eg. (i) Pretend you have an apple OR that you are making a sandwich. Then ask a person Ar mhaith leat úll? NÓ Cad ba mhaith leat sa cheapaire? (ii) Pretend you have found someone's coat. Then ask Cé leis an cóta seo? Ní liomsa é etc.(iii) Pretend you are reading / writing / cutting etc. Ask Cad atá agam? This provides practice in the keywords le, ar, do, ag [see Lesson 8 pages 24 - 25]

CIRCUIT GAME "Bratacha": for a class-size group

The learner will make the connection with the game and common nouns such as "an pháirc: Bhí geata na páirce dúnta".
