Why not have a go at making your own bodach-sneachda? Dress him like the bodach-sneachda in the song and then you can add some more clothes! Colour them in and label the colours in Gaelic.

A BIT MORE OF A CHALLENGE...!
Option 2
stoc dearg
ad dubh
Why not look at Option 1, but now add even more colourful clothes. Your bodach-sneachda might have briogais bhuidhe or còta gorm. How would you describe your bodach-sneachda's clothes?

WHY?
Using Colours!
Do you remember we say Madainn mhath but Feasgar math? Have you wondered why it's math and mhath? Do you know that the same thing also happens with colours and clothes?
Here's why....! There are 2 types of naming words (nouns) in Gaelic - masculine and feminine.

Thought Bubble
Feminine nouns sometimes change the describing word (adjective) that comes after it, by adding an h after the first letter.
For example - math becomes mhath, buidhe becomes bhuidhe.
However masculine nouns don't change the describing word at all!

Look out for this in future challenges!
Thought Bubble
But, look out for the naughty little rascals that sgream, steal and spy! (and vowels too!)
