Irish:
Bí ag caint! Look through the vocabulary pages and use as many Irish words as you can during the day! You could also use paper and make snap cards! So if you wanted to play snap with your family, make two pictures of every word (be sure to write the spelling underneath and keep the pictures the same eg draw the same picture twice for one word so you can tell easily if it's a snap). Once you've checked using your vocab pages you have all the right spellings and you have two of everything, with an adult, get a scissors, cut them out, mix them up and now you are ready to play!
Religion:
Colour anything that hasn't been coloured so far, put on calming music and use this as mindful colouring where you just try to focus on the colour you are using.
Sese:
Say cheese! Arrange photos into a photo album with the help of an adult or look at photos and talk about what is happening in them with an adult.
