St. Patrick’s Day Activities for Fun in the Classroom during March

St. Patrick’s Day is approaching. Do you celebrate this holiday with your students in March? I definitely don’t go all out with making leprechaun traps and pretend visitors, but we generally do a few fun St. Patrick’s Day activities to celebrate the day.

St. Patrick’s Day – I Am Lucky Craftivity

For the past several years, we have made these I am Lucky Shamrocks. I love this activity because, like my Valentine’s Day and Spring Craftivities, it helps students reflect on who they are as person and value what they have around them. So often, our kiddos don’t spend time thinking about what makes them a good person and appreciating the good things in their life.

In this activity, students create a four-leaf clover and on each leaf, students write something that makes them lucky. You could also come at it from the perspective of something they’re thankful for or appreciate. The activity includes a recording sheet so students can brainstorm ideas and work on sentence structure.

I generally create an anchor chart with students that matches the graphic organizer.  We brainstorm things that make students lucky, things they have, can do, and things they are.

Students then take the graphic organizer back to their seats and create their own list of reasons they are lucky.   After completing the graphic organizer, I give students the base of the clover, which is the the stem and leaves without the flaps.  Once students have written their sentences and colored their base, I give them the leaves to color, cut and glue on.

This makes a great bulletin board, too!
