THE NIGHT BEFORE ST PATRICK'S DAY BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS
The next morning is St. Patrick's Day! Dad plays the bagpipe, mom makes green eggs for breakfast, and they all sing an Irish song.
They hear some noises, and rush to check their leprechaun traps... What a mess the leprechaun has made! Tim and Maureen follow its footprints. The footprints lead to a leprechaun trap. What's that giggling inside the trap?
A leprechaun! The children demand to know where the gold treasure is. The leprechaun instructs them to head outside and dig the area marked with an X. The leprechaun had put Xs all over the place! The kids have been tricked!
Using this read aloud and these corresponding reading activities will help your students learn essential literacy skills in a fun and engaging way.

These activities can be used for whole class learning, during small group guided reading time, as individual student work, or as part of a book club. Copy a pack for each student and you're ready to go!
