How to use it in class
Use it in a Gaeilge lesson, on a wet break or as a 10-minute brain break. Read the rules aloud as a class first, then let pairs play. The games use simple, repeated phrases, so the Irish quickly becomes familiar. Cluiche na 21 Bata ends with a challenge: can the pair find a winning strategy? This Gaeilge resource links to the existing English Pencil, Paper, Play! pack.
