Competition will run from 22.03.2020 - 10.04.2020
Irish Socksciety will announce the winner on the 13th of April 2020.
The winning socks will go into production before the end of the School year.
Please use the template provided here
DOWNLOAD THE TEMPLATE
WHO CAN APPLY

Children age 6-12 located in the Republic of Ireland. We will only accept entries made by parents/guardians on behalf of the child-artist.

HOW TO APPLY

Parents/guardians of participants should submit the designs via email only. Files (pdf, photo, scan) should be sent to info@irishsocksciety.ie by 10.04.2020 time 00:00

HOW TO DESIGN

Please use the template available here

There is no limit on the technique, designs can be hand drawn, designed on a computer - whichever works. Please remember that colour scheme must be limited to 5 colours.

Avoid complex details or gradients as these are quite difficult to translate onto a sock.

AND THE WINNER IS...

We would like all of the young artist to have fun while designing their socks. There is no theme, design what you think would be best for yourself and your class mates. Please note, that due to technical reasons design may get changed slightly going into production.

IF I SUBMIT A DESIGN, WILL YOU OWN THE RIGHTS TO IT?

No, we don't own the rights to the entered designs. Once the winner is chosen, we will contact the parents/guardians of the artist before moving forward with the production.

There is no additional compensation to the winner beyond the prize.

If we receive a submission it means that parents/guardians of the artist are aware of the submission and take responsibility for informing/educating the child about the rules of the competition.

Organizers will pick one winner of the 1st prize and two winners of the spot prizes.

Once announced, the organizers' decision will be final and no appeals will be accepted.

Prize cannot be exchanged into cash.

Irish Socksciety reserves the right to change the t&c at any time.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Dear wonderful and talented young Artists! Thank you so much for your creativity and enthusiasm that we were able to witness through your colourful designs! Also, thank you Parents, for your kind words, we are extremely happy that this challenge brought some fun to your homes during these tough times!

If you're looking for home learning ideas and activities, explore our enormous list of challenges! They cover a wide range of subjects and can all be tried without much preparation or equipment.

English

Think of some questions that you could use in an interview with a family member. What would you like to ask them? Write down their answers or (with their permission) record them using a mobile device.

Write a letter to a friend or family member. What would you like to tell them about?

Read your favourite book to your toys. Make sure they're listening nicely!

Write a postcard to your favourite author.

Practise your phonics skills by playing 'I Spy'.

Make up a story with other people. Each person is only allowed to say one sentence before moving on to the next person.

Create a menu for today's meal.

Choose a toy, a household object or something in your food cupboard and make an advert to encourage people to buy it!

Write a set of instructions to teach people how to play a simple game.

Write a news report about something that has happened to you recently.

Write a book review of the book you are reading. What is it about? Who would you recommend it to?

Make some "top ten" lists. What are your top ten book characters, or books made into films, for example?

Make a stop motion animation that tells a story. We like Stop Motion Studio on the App Store, but others are available to download too.

Create a comic strip that shows what you did yesterday, or what you would love to do tomorrow.

Read the dictionary (or another book in your home) and make a note of some words that you have not seen before. What do they mean?

Write a letter to your teacher. What would you like to tell them?

Choose characters from different books and imagine that they came together in a new story. Imagine what they might do together.

Think of an alternative ending to one of your favourite books.

Maths

Look around your home for different shapes. Can you use tallies to count how many of each shape you can find?

Go on a pattern hunt. Can you find any patterns on your floor / walls or on objects around your home?

Choose some of your toys and measure them with a ruler or tape measure. Can you order them according to their size?

Choose some household objects or toys and make a shop. Add prices and invite a customer (or a cuddly toy) to buy items. How much will they spend? How much change will they receive?

Choose a multiplication table that you're not sure about and learn it off by heart. Practise, practise, practise!

Design a board game that uses a number track. You can make it as simple or as complex as you like!

Play 'noughts and crosses' (or 'tic tac toe'). Try adding more spaces to the board. How does that change the game?

Look at the TV guide and make up some problems using the information on it, e.g. What program is on channel 3 at 9.30 am? If Paw Patrol starts at 10.05 am and ends at 10.12 am, how long does it last for?

Start a number pattern (e.g. doubling, adding five) and continue it as long as possible. How far can you go?

Make a Maths quiz to test a member of your family. Don't forget to work out the answers so that you can check their work!

Science

Investigate which objects float in a bowl or sink filled with water. Check with an adult before you test the objects in the water!

Draw pictures of a healthy meal and an unhealthy meal.

Design an imaginary creature. Where does it live? What does it eat? How is it adapted to living in its environment? Could you make a food chain that includes your creature?

Use yoghurt pots and string to make a telephone.

Write a set of instructions to show people how to look after a plant.

Place ice cubes in bowls in different places (for example by a window, in the fridge, in a cupboard). Which one will melt the fastest?

Set up a simple Science experiment. Science Bob has some great suggestions.

Blow some bubbles. Can you blow small bubbles? Could you make a giant bubble?

Write some secret messages using invisible ink (you only need lemon juice for this activity).

Choose your favourite animal and find out more about them using books or information online. Can you present the information in different ways (e.g. a poster, a written report or a video)?

Geography

Make a poster to teach people about different things that they can do to protect the environment.

Draw a map showing a route from your home to a favourite place.

Draw a picture to show the weather outside. Repeat this activity each day to show how the weather changes.

Draw a bird's eye view of a building you know well. Make sure you include all the doors and windows!

Have a look at some of the items of food in your cupboard or clothes in your wardrobe. Check the labels and find out which countries they have come from. Which has travelled the furthest to get to you?

Make a map of your bedroom, showing where everything is.

Make a simple rain gauge by cutting the top off a plastic bottle, and marking the side in centimetres. Stand it outside and record how much rain it collects.

Hide a small toy in a secret place and create a 'treasure map' to help somebody else find it.

Travel around the world by going on a virtual field trip. This page has some great links to explore!

History

Create a timeline showing the main events in your life, from the day you were born to today.

Choose a famous person from the past and write a diary from their point of view.

Find some fascinating facts about your favourite period from history and make a poster to share them.

Think of some questions that you could ask a member of your family about their own life. What memories do they have? What are the key events in their life?

Art

Look in the mirror and draw a self-portrait.

Create a portrait of a different person or a pet. You can use a picture of them if they won't sit still for long enough.

Draw or paint a landscape picture (showing the view out of your window).

Produce a 'still life' picture that shows a bowl of fruit, a collection of your favourite toys or some other objects.

Think about your favourite book and design a new cover for it.

Design a superhero. What special powers will they have and how might they help people?

Create some pictures of animals using fingerprint painting!

Use objects from nature to create a picture. Could you take a photo of your work?

Find some rocks and paint them!

Play 'Pictionary'. Draw a picture that represents your favourite book or movie (without using any words) and ask somebody else to guess what you are drawing.

Draw a picture without taking your pencil off the page.

Draw a new illustration for a book. Will you keep it in the same style, or try something else?

Make a doodle drawing. Doodle a random shape onto a page, then turn it into an animal or object.

Make your own card game. This could be a simple game of 'Snap', 'Matching Pairs' or a 'Top Trumps' style game.

Record a video that teaches people how to wash their hands properly.

Play the alphabet game. Choose a few categories (for example, an animal, a country, a fruit) and go through the alphabet, thinking of an example that begins with every letter. Some of the letters are quite tricky!

Play the yes/no game with someone else. Take it in turns to ask each other questions. The person being asked is out if they answer "yes" or "no". How creative can you make your answers?

Play "Would you rather?" Give each player a choice of two options (for example, "Would you rather go for a walk in the snow, or on the beach? ". They have to choose one and say why. The ideas can be as silly as you like!

What hopes and dreams do you have for the future? Draw a picture to show what you hope life will be like in 10, 20 or even 50 years!

It's game time! Use these free, printable game boards to make a game out of ANY subject!

Find more of our learning games HERE!

Printable Game Boards - for ANY Subject!

Whether it's summer break, Christmas break, or you're stuck at home because of a contagious virus that's taken the world by storm, you're sure to find a game or two you can play with these free, printable game boards. {Recommended for 2-4 players.}
You may need:
1. A stack of sight word flashcards, math flashcards, a list of states & capitals, or something from your own subject of choice.

2. One die {for shorter boards} or two dice {for longer boards}.

3. A small marker or manipulative for each player.
There are MANY ways you can play.
One idea is to use a stack of flashcards. For example, if you're playing with sight word flashcards, Player 1 picks up the top card and reads it out loud. If he/she is successful, Player 1 rolls the die and moves that many spaces on the game board. Player 2 does the same thing.

If you have players of multiple ages and skill levels, let each player have their own stack of cards. When it's their turn, they pull a card from their own stack instead of sharing a single stack of cards.

Or you can ditch the flashcards and dice to do your own thing! You could even write your own problems in the blanks on the game board of your choice. That's the beauty of these printable game boards.

The player who gets to "End" first is the winner. Note that on each game board, there are some special spaces that either allow players to go again, move forward, or move back a space.
The game boards come in TWO Levels!
1. FIVE shorter game boards, with 13-20 spaces. This is good for younger kids who may not have a long attention span. I recommend only using one die with these games.

2. FIVE longer game boards, with 30+ spaces. These may work better for older kids. If you choose to use dice, go with two {or even three}!

3. Psst! They also come in blackline so save on ink.
Grab the FREE Printable Game Boards below & ENJOY! Check out our at-home learning serie s:
Enjoy playing & learning together!

Once again, Children's Book Ireland has joined with The O'Brien Press to give YOU the opportunity to have your artwork featured on the cover of a professionally published book. We are looking for YOUR help in re-jacketing Gordon Snell's The Supermarket Ghost, first published in 2007. With a new edition set to be launched in Autumn 2020, this exciting ghostly adventure needs a great new look that will help it appeal to young readers today, as well as giving a strong sense of the what the book is about.

So if you think you're up to the challenge of creating a new cover and not afraid of seeing your art on library and bookshop shelves, here's what you must do:

1. Track down the original version of The Supermarket Ghost and read it carefully. (If you can't find a copy of the book itself, you can find some more information about it here https://www.obrien.ie/the-supermarket-ghost)

2. Ask your local library or teacher for a copy of the entry form. (Alternatively one can be downloaded from https://www.obrien.ie/childrens/design-a-cover-competition

3. Use the space provided on the form to lay out your design (see below for some top design tips!) and fill in your details.

4. Post your completed entry form in to the following address: Design-a-Cover, The O'Brien Press, 12 Terenure Road East, Rathgar, Dublin 6

5. Make sure that your entry arrives before the closing date 1st May 2020

Top Design Tips

So, you think you have what it takes to design a book cover? Here's some useful advice from the design team in The O'Brien Press to get you started ...

A book cover's job is to make the reader want to read the story inside: that might sound obvious, but keep this in mind as you design the cover!

Before you begin, ask yourself these questions:

What is the book about? What is the central idea of the story?

Who do you think the book's main audience is?

What is the book's main appeal: is it character, place, friendship, scariness, humour or something else? Think about: character descriptions, key events and objects, when is it set? Does your cover make this clear?

Some additional points to remember!

The title of the book- The Supermarket Ghost - and the author's name - Gordon Snell - are very important and they need to be clear and readable. Think about how big they should be and where they should go.

Book covers often appear very small, particularly digitally: ensure that your design is clear and will work well on screen.

Make sure to do your cover art in portrait (upright) format - use the competition entry form (available at obrien.ie/childrens/design-a-cover-competition) to make sure your design is the right size and shape.

Most important of all - be creative and have fun!

Prizes and Entry Details

The winning entry will be chosen by the Children's Books Ireland and The O'Brien Press judging panel, including great Irish illustrators Sarah Bowie and Tarsila Krüse. The winning design will be used as the basis for the cover design of a new edition of The Supermarket Ghost to be published in Autumn 2020. The overall winner will also receive a special selection of O'Brien Press books. The winner's class will also receive a class set of the book.

Five runners-up will also have the chance to see their artwork featured in the book and will also receive a selection of fantastic titles from The O'Brien Press.

This competition is open to residents of ROI and Northern Ireland only. All entrants must be aged 15-years or under. Only one entry per person.

The closing date for entries is Friday 1 st May 2020.

How I would have loved these resources during my years teaching in Montessori schools or in my own homeschool! I still find it amazing that there are so many free Montessori materials available online today. What great resources for parents and teachers alike!
Disclosure: This post contains some affiliate links (at no cost to you).
Note; I went through every link here before updating and republishing this post. If you have materials I should add or see something that should be changed, just let me know!

The little experience I had with using free online downloads for teaching was wonderful. I had WAY too much fun during my 2006-07 master's program in early childhood studies. Because I had completed my B.A. so many years ago (and before the Internet), it was almost magical for me to do much of my research online and find free Montessori materials online to use in my school placement at a day nursery.

With free online downloads, it's easy to create professional-looking Montessori materials. For school or home use, all that's needed to prepare most of the materials is paper or cardstock, printer and printer ink, paper cutter or scissors, and lamination (which is preferred but not essential for home use). Montessori Print Shop has some great instructions for preparing Montessori materials.
Following is a listing of sites with free Montessori downloads. Note: Almost all of these sites also has Montessori printables available for sale as well. I'm just sharing the free printables here, but if you look around on the sites, you'll find the printables available for sale, too.
