St. Patrick’s Day – Getting Ready for the Leprechaun!

As a student I didn’t have teachers who got into St. Patrick’s Day. For my first two years of teaching, we did a few activities – but nothing major. However, during my third year of teaching I realized just how much fun St. Patrick’s Day can be!

St. Patrick's Day

I watched a teacher who left little leprechaun footprints from the doorway of the building all the way into her classroom. It was so neat! The leprechauns left her students little treats. But – best of all – they all set leprechaun traps to try and catch the leprechauns.

I decided to try some of her ideas with my own twist.

Here each of my Kindergarten students set traps to catch the leprechauns. I let them use every day materials from the classroom so I didn’t have to bring too much extra stuff in.


Then each student wrote a note to the leprechaun trying to trick them. I love what they came up with!! (Some of the kids even went as far as putting a small doll beside their note and writing a note to the leprechaun that it was his new “girlfriend”. Oh the things they come up with!!)
The next day our room was a disaster!! That sneaky little leprechaun wasn’t in any of our traps, but he did mess up our room!
This is what happens when the leprechaun visits your classroom. Students LOVE it! Click through to get more writing ideas and fun activities for St. Patrick's Day!

    Thanks, Brian & Arlene! I taught ELL for two years before "moving on". They were Hutterite students. Are you familiar with them? Somewhat like the Amish, but they believe in vehicles. I LOVED IT! =)
