Don't let the "Study Pack" title fool you! We just slap that phrase on to sell it to teachers (ssshhh!)

This is bursting with little gems of information such as:
  • Cartography
  • Padaeography
  • Biography
You're on the edge of your seat now... aren't you? When you're done dipping in and out of the parts that interest you, have a go at the Flight of the Earls board game (definitely not bored game) and wage a war in your own home.

The Heritage Council have developed a colouring series of Ireland's Town Centres - including our very own historic Letterkenny and Ballyshannon.
​
Crack out those crayons and have a wee competition to see who gets the colours closet to what they really are. When self isolation becomes social integration, take a trip around the town to see who was right!

Disclaimer: We take absolutely no responsibility for any fighting, huffing or unsavory behavior which may take place as a result of winning or loosing.
