Set yourself (or your class) the SWAP 30-minute challenge and spend half an hour either writing about your favourite Scots words OR write a story in which the characters use those words in their speech.
Use our worksheets (available to download on our Glow site) to discover, use and discuss Scots words and place-names. One even lets you give a weather report in Scots!
Remember to upload your entries so that they can be entered into the competition, or send them in to the postal address given on the SWAP Glow site.
There is still time to enter the Scots Words and Place-names writing competition, which is being judged by the writers Louise Welsh and Amal Chatterjee
The SWAP competition asks pupils to write a story, poem or essay relating to Scots words and/or place-names. There are four age categories: P1-3, P4-7, S1-3, S4-6 and prizes to be won.
