Sessions for Primary School pupils of all stages from Monday 23rd – Friday 27th February 2026

Hosted by broadcaster, singer & presenter Joy Dunlop, these free, daily, online, sessions feature games, activities, songs, stories and quizzes and are inspired by this year’s theme of ‘cleachd i no caill i’ (use it or lose it).

Schools are encouraged to attend as many of the daily sessions as they can throughout the week, but are not required to attend all sessions to have an enjoyable experience. We will provide themed resources that can be used in class with all age groups.

No previous experience of Gaelic is necessary – we provide sessions for classes with all levels of Gaelic experience – from total beginners to fluent speakers.

This is a special and exciting opportunity for children across Scotland to come together to experience and celebrate Gaelic as an important part of Scottish cultural life, in a fun and engaging way!

In the workshops, children will develop literary confidence, listening and linguistic skills and will be encouraged to think about their identity and community, helping them feel more connected to their peers, wider community and develop their sense of cultural identity.

All participating pupils will receive a Seachdain na Gàidhlig | World Gaelic Week 2026 certificate available to download and print from Twinkl.

Why not run your own event as part of Seachdain na Gàidhlig?

We have resources available for individuals, schools and organisations to deliver events in their own communities. We encourage young people to consider how volunteering to deliver an event in their school or community as part of Seachdain na Gàidhlig 2026 could contribute to their achievement of an Arts Award, Saltire Award or even a Young Scot Award or other accreditation.
