Check out our St. Patrick's Day activity, where a loveable mischievous leprechaun named Louie brings magic to the classroom! Over the course of three days, students will embark on a thrilling adventure as Louie searches for his pot of gold while he writes engaging letters that he leaves behind.

Students' excitement will rise as they channel their creativity into crafting their own letters to Louie. Using a handy template provided, they'll pen heartfelt messages, clever questions, and even a few jokes to charm their elusive visitor. This activity not only reinforces writing skills but also encourages empathy and imagination as students step into the shoes of their mischievous leprechaun friend.

Finally, students put their engineering skills to the test as they design and build leprechaun traps to catch Louie in the act. Armed with a planning sheet to brainstorm ideas and materials, students collaborate in teams to construct clever contraptions, each one more inventive than the last. Through trial and error, they learn the value of perseverance and creativity, all while having a blast in the process.

With our St. Patrick's Day Teaching Activity, the magic of the holiday comes to life in the classroom like never before. Students embark on an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, learning, and a touch of Irish luck. So grab your shamrocks and get ready to join in the fun – Louie the Leprechaun is waiting!

This is a packet of THREE scavenger hunt (write the room) activities. The first is classifying nouns as person, place or thing. The second is finding words that begin with each letter of the alphabet. The last is differentiating between contractions and compound words. Word cards are included which can be laminated and hung around the room. My students love using clipboards to walk around the room and find the words! I also added in a couple of FREEBIE interactive notebook pages on nouns and verbs.
