Schools: Online activities & Outreach
PLAY
Take a look at our ‘PLAY’ section for some ideas for pairs or pods to do in the classroom or individually at home. Try our Minifigure Hunt, which uses co-ordinates and gives a brief history of some of Ireland’s famous people. You will also find colouring in sheets, jigsaws and a tricky Escape Room activity, for 5th and 6th Class age students.
LEARN
We also have online activities for Science, Maths and Engineers Week.
Below are some instructions and slideshows of some of the activities we have done with students in the library. All instructions for paper folding crafts can be found here or you can click the links below the images.
