Activity: Cé Atá Ann?

This game is for two players.

PREPARE THE GAME:

Print three copies of the cards below.
Each player will have one copy with all the celebrities on it.
With the third copy, cut out each person, fold it over so you can't see who’s on it, and put it in a bowl.
You should have 12 folded pieces of paper in the bowl after cutting them out.
If you can’t print them out, why not make your own game, by drawing characters yourself? Make sure they’re coloured in though, or the game won’t work!

HOW TO PLAY:

Each player has their sheet with all the celebrities on it in front of them and they pick one piece of paper each from the bowl.
Player 1 begins by asking Player 2 a "Tá" / "Níl" question about Player 2's character.
Here are some questions that might be helpful for playing the game, but try to make up your own as well:
- An bean/cailín í?
- An fear/buachaill é?
- An bhfuil gruaig rua/dubh/fionn/donn/liath air/uirthi?
- An bhfuil súile glasa/gorma/donna/liatha/dubha aige/aici?
- An bhfuil sé/sí ard?
- An bhfuil sé/sí íseal?
- An bhfuil sé/sí sean?
- An bhfuil sé/sí óg?
- An bhfuil sé/sí are an teilifís?
If Player 2 says "Tá" then Player 1 can put a counter (or any small object) over the person/people they don't think it is, to narrow it down.
Player 2 then asks Player 1 a question, and it continues like that until a player has guessed correctly and won. You can limit the number of questions to make the game more difficult, for example, each player can only ask 5 ceist.
