Christmas Around The World: Free Classroom Resources in English and Irish

Discover Nollaig.

Christmas is nearly upon us, signaling the end of another brilliant year at EPIC, and to mark it, we’ve updated and repackaged our Christmas Around the World Teaching Assets, to assist in your learning plan and to share a different side of this holiday with your students.

Learn about Maureen O’Hara, Irish Christmas traditions, and more, all down below!

Christmas time is upon us, and while your students are writing their Santa lists, and checking them twice, we’ve pulled together the Irish history of this festive period. The following teaching resources breakdown the global tradition that is Christmas; its origins, its unique traditions around the world, and of course, how we celebrate in Ireland, and how we’ve spread those celebrations through hundreds of years of emigration.
