St Patricks Day Activities for ChildrenMeet Shamus the mischievious Leprachaun
These St Patricks Day activities were started by my daughter's favorite teacher. Mrs. Corcoran, her fourth grade teacher, was not only Irish but born on St. Patrick's Day! Of all the St Patrick Day activities, this one made such a lasting impression on her that now 20 years later she has added her own twist and carried it on in her first grade classroom with her students.
 that you can use every year!
Shamus has just come to the end of the rainbow and landed at the school or in your home but can’t find his lucky coins anywhere! Let's hunt for his pot of coins! Here's the note he has left for the students and here's the note he has left if you are doing this at home, along with his sparkling leprachaun shoes.
The note will send the children on a scavenger hunt around the school with clues at each destination leading them to the St Patricks day coins. My daughter passes out the clues to the teachers around the school and elicits their help.The clues end with a fill in the blank rhyme so that the kids have to use their rhyming skills to figure out where to go next. Here are the clues for a school activity. At the end of the scavenger hunt they come to the place where the coins have been left and they each get to keep one as a good luck symbol from Shamus. Then they go back to the classroom and each write Shamus a note telling him all about their adventure. These fun St Patricks day activities are a a great way to tie education in with a fun and very memorable St Patricks Day for children.
If you want to use this fun St Patricks day activity at home, you can adapt the clue list to places or things in your home. Shamus could also visit a couple of times leading up to St. Patricks day and you could do a clue a day! Lots of creative ways to play this fun game!
