St. Patrick ´s Day
 
Hello!

Can you tell me what kind of activities you usually use with children 5-8 years old (beginners) about St. Patrick ´s Day? I ´ve never taught this topic and some ideas would be very nice! Smile The funnier, the best! Wink

Thank you!

I have uploaded an article on Saint Patrick ´s Day and there are flashcards about St Patrick ´s Day in other ESL websites, you can give the students flashcards first and ask them to guess what they would be learning.

Saint Patrick ´s Day is sometimes associated with Leprechauns ( Some disagree that Leprechauns have anything to do with it) but there are many St Patrick ´s Day materials that feature Leprechaun. Leprechauns keep gold. Thus, you can do treasure hunt for the students to look for the gold that leprechauns keep.

I ´ve written a story about a boy and a leprechaun that takes place during Saint Patrick ´s Day, the story is going to be published in an online magazine, if you "pm" me your email, I can email them to you.

Saint Patrick ´s Day is celebrated in March I think, it ´s still quite early.

I used to be a Kindergaten teacher and my students sang "I ´m a little Leprechaun" to the tune of I ´m a Little Teapot.

 

I ´m a little leprechaun dressed in green

the tiniest man that you ´ve ever seen.

If you ever catch me so it ´s told

I ´ll give you my pot of Gold!

 
They cut pointy GREEN ears out of paper (http://www.makeandtakes.com/little-leprechauns)* and wore then as they sang. 
 

Green Song (sung to the tune of "Bingo")

G-R-E-E-N
