For children at nursery and P1

• Talk with your child about some of the favourite places to which they like to go. These may be outside your home, your garden if you have one, or it may be somewhere near your home.
• Discuss why they like these places and how they feel when they are there? Ask them to describe their feelings. It may be helpful to visit this page on Go Gaelic. 
• Ask your child to pick one favourite place. Invite your child to create a picture of this place using crayons, pens and pencils. They may use any craft materials you may have in your home. They may wish to write some words in Gaelic about this place.

P2/P3/P4

• Ask your child to tell you about a favourite place to which they like to go. Why do they like it so much? Encourage them to use as many Gaelic words and phrases as they can to describe this place. Does anything grow there? What can you do there? Is it near the sea? Are there animals there, if so what kind?
• Play a ‘guess the place’ game with your child. Ask your child five questions about this place, for which they can only answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’. If you manage to guess the place correctly after asking your five questions you get one point. If you are not able to guess, then your child gets the point. Swap roles, now it’s your child’s turn to ask the questions.
• You can use buttons, bits of lego or crayons for example to represent the points.
• Older children may like to keep a tally of the points on a score sheet.

P5/6/7
