Seachtain na Gaeilge 2022

Seachtain na Gaeilge

March 1, 2022 – March 17, 2022

Seachtain na Gaeilge is an annual international Irish language festival in Ireland which takes place from 1st of March to Saint Patrick’s Day on March 17.

During Seachtain na Gaeilge, the Irish language is celebrated around the country and abroad. The main aim of the festival is to promote the language as well as inspire and encourage people to speak or learn Irish, even if it’s just cúpla focal!

Each class in Ireland take part in the celebrations by learning and improving their Gaeilge and taking part in lessons that have been designed to promote the language. Schools organise competitions, games and events ‘as Gaeilge’ to encourage students to speak Irish. Pupils are rewarded with Irish prizes and certificates for their effort.

Mol an Óige offers a range of  SnaG Packs, Irish rewards and resources to support Seachtain na Gaeilge in schools. We have something for primary and secondary school children.

How to Spread Kindness in School on World Kindness Day — and Every Day

I always tell my students that if there’s one thing that I want them to be, it’s kind. I firmly believe that love and kindness will bring our world together. With World Kindness Day approaching, I hope you’ll take some time to think about how you can spread kindness in school all year long.


Why not create a compliment raffle using our free resources and encourage your students to recognise their classmates. Have plenty of prizes on hand after selecting your raffle winners! We recommend using pencils, pens, cute erasers, sharpeners and kindness stickers.

We are giving FREE teaching resources with each purchase made.

Resources will be emailed to the address given for your order

 

Go Green and Save More Than The Planet!

Posted on

We’ve gone green for the month of November, and we think you should too!

Before the chaos of Christmas sets in, we’re stressing the importance of thinking green. December will see more waste than any other month in the year with packaging, food and energy being hit the hardest.

With presents and home decorations comes bags and boxes. With Christmas nibbles and family dinners comes food wastage and foil containers. More nights out means more vehicles on the road. An increase in the use of electrical applicances means demand for power is greater. Of course, it is a magical time for many and time spent with family and friends is priceless. After a busy year, it is a well-earned break and opportunity to relax before New Year resolutions start.

It is important, however, to remember our duty and responsibility to take care of our planet for future generations to come.  Taking some time in November to conserve energy, encourage recycling and limit waste, allows us to achieve some balance in the contribution we make to our environment.

To help you with sharing this important message with your pupils, we are selling ALL our eco products at discounted prices for the month of November.

 

We are giving FREE teaching resources with each purchase made.

              

Resources will be emailed to the address given for your order.

We are sharing resources from the experts (Greenpeace and Oceana to name a few) on our social media pages which we think will be of some use in the classroom.

 

 

 Have any “go-to” lessons for teaching climate change, global warming and environmental awareness?

If you can’t get involved this year, we encourage you to still keep an eye on our social media pages and site for upcoming sale items! Our Ch******s orders have started arriving so watch this space for new prizes and resources!

Our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages are updated daily and we are very lucky to get  a lot of positive feedback from our followers.

We have run giveaways on each site and experienced amazing engagement with each one. Our last Facebook competition reached over 100,00 people!

This week (September 26th-30th) we are focusing on our Snapchat account and us, the people behind Mol an Óige. We are two Primary Teachers who work full-time and run our business usually with a small person in tow, piggy-backing for the fun. 

We will take you through our day, which starts early and finishes late, and we’re going to make it worth your while. At the end of each day, we will give a discount code exclusively to Snapchat followers. That discount code will be valid for the following 24 hours. For example, we will give you a discount code on Monday night which will be valid for Tuesday only. Another code will be given Tuesday night which will be valid for Wednesday. We are going to give our biggest discounts yet with the minimum being 20% off your order!

Sound interesting!? Add us on Snapchat now: “molanoige” 

See you bright and early Monday morning!

Back to School Packs are here!

Posted on

With just two weeks to go until we embark on the return to school, it is the perfect time to start selling our Back to School Packs. Last year, we sent our packs to thousands of schools around the country to help teachers get set for September.

Why were they our bestselling product for 2015-2016?  The answer is simple: Amazing products at incredible value.

We got a lot of positive feedback from teachers and principals, who were just delighted to get teaching resources and pupil prizes with just one purchase. We also got some queries about featuring other products in the pack. We have taken all the feedback and queries on board when creating this year’s pack, some products feature again with some new products being added to the pack. 

The RRP for this year’s pack is €35.15, the total cost of buying all the products individually, but we are putting them together for you for just €20! 

Packs will go on sale at 9am on Monday 15th August, get yours and then get back to relaxing on one of our last FREE MONDAYS!
