But you can always go on a leprechaun hunt, so that's just what we did! We found lots of clover, but no leprechauns.We came inside, did a quick Google search, and watched the short film Leprechaun's Gold (1949).
The leprechauns in this cartoon washed their gold, and that reminded me about this science activity that I'll suggest later this afternoon or tomorrow. (Update: We did it! You can see that post here.)

After lunch we hit DLTK's sites, and when Gerrick spotted the spinning shamrocks, he had to play this game. His prize from this game was a couple of coloring sheets. (He insisted I print them.) While he is working on those, I just found these other St. Patrick's Day activities that I'll offer to him later today and maybe even tomorrow..JPG)
Hope you're having a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Thanks for the great idea, I tutor a first grader a few hours a week and I am alwyas looking for crative games for him!
ReplyDeleteI like the bingo game! I can't believe we didn't do anything for St. Pat's day. My poor deprived children. ;) Last year I made all green food for supper and they didn't eat a bit of it because it was green.
ReplyDeletesometimes those ad-hoc lessons are the best ones. Fun, simple and following his lead. He probably learned more DOING stuff than he would have hearing any story from the library anyway :)
ReplyDeletewow! you thought of that stuff last minute? Awesome job! =]
ReplyDeleteThat clover patch brings back such great memories! How many hours of my childhood spent in the clovers!!
ReplyDeleteWe made green muffins for breakfast and painted some green dinosaurs! ...does that count!
Way to go on the fly...
This is a nice variety of activities. I esp. like the bingo. Kiddo would love that. I've never done any St. Pat's day activities, which is remiss of me since NYC is sooooo into the holiday.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. I'm going to have to remember that for next year.
