St. Patrick’s Day is
right around the corner and I have a few activities for the classroom.
Rainbows: Use different flavored
Kool Aid packs choosing rainbow colors. Dilute in water and use like
watercolors to paint a rainbow. Once dried add cotton balls at either end of
the rainbow to complete your masterpiece. The kids will love trying to identify
the different flavors through smell.
Shamrock Shake:
Ingredients
1 cup milk
1/2 ripe banana
1 cup lime sherbet
Directions
Wash your hands.
Pour milk into blender.
Add lime sherbet and
peeled, chopped banana.
Blend all ingredients
until smooth and then serve.
It makes two 1-cup
servings.
Who took the Gold Activity: Students will discriminate what has been taken and use prediction
skills on deciding who has the pot of gold. Sit students in a circle and have
the students close their eyes. Choose one student to take and hide the pot of
gold behind their back.
Say the chant:
Teacher, teacher who
took the gold? (all students)
__________ took the gold.
Who me? (student named)
Yes, you. (all students)
Couldn’t be! (student named)
Then who. (all students)
Was it ________ who took
the gold? (the student accused of taking
the gold the first time names another student.)
Keep repeating until the
students discover who took the gold.
