If you are an educator, parent, group leader, or just someone who wants to discover Irish history in a fun and interactive way, this download section offers you all the treasure hunt case studies and challenge questions with the correct answers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong> As the project moves on, we are adding more letters to the collection, so questions relating to the number of letters in a certain category may need to be updated before you actually use them for teaching. You may also want to adapt some of our questions to your own region, e.g. let your students find out about their town or county. Furthermore, we are planning to make a treasure hunt in simple language (using keywords rather than full sentences) available soon.<\/p>\n

We are always glad to receive your feedback and suggestions for improvement, so please contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n
