Classroom St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt

 

Whether you do it the first thing in the morning or while they are at lunch, it’s always a fun treat to do a scavenger hunt with the entire class. We have some clues to print off and hide around your classroom.

Don’t forget to fill your pot of gold at the end of the hunt with some great goodies! Here’s some tips on what loot the classroom leprechaun can leave behind: Get out of Homework passes (good for 1 homework assignment), Candy is always a favorite (gold coins, yellow starbursts, etc), Pencils with shamrocks on them, Shamrock stickers and the list can go on. Just make sure there is plenty to go around.

We hope your class has an amazing time searching for the pot of gold the Leprechaun left behind!

Happy Hunting!!

St Patrick’s Day Crafts

    

Get out your green paint and help your little ones create these adorable hand print and fingerprint clovers! This craft is an excellent choice for every age group in your childcare or daycare center. You can even have them create these designs on shirts to wear on St. Patrick’s Day!

All you need for this lucky leprechaun is construction paper (green,yellow and black), a paper plate, orange paint, a marker, scissors and glue. Start by painting the outer edge of the plate orange. While this dries you can cut out the materials for the hat and glue the pieces together. Finish off your leprechaun by gluing it’s hat into place and drawing on his happy face. 

   

Crafting and snacking is always a fun combo. These crafts feature a child favorite cereal, Fruit Loops. To create the Fruit Loop rainbow, have students separate the colors and then place them in an arch following “ROY G BIV”. The clouds are just a pile of mini marshmallows. You can have them glue these down or skip the glue and allow them to eat their Fruit Loops and marshmallows when they are done.

For the “I’m so lucky” necklace, cut out shamrocks and hole punch them. Next give every student a piece of string long enough to easily fit over their head once tied together. Have students string about a fourth of the necklace with Fruit Loops, then add on the shamrock. Next they can string another fourth of Fruit Loops and tie off the ends. Now they have a necklace to wear for St Patrick's day. They can even eat the Fruit Loops off the string as the day goes on! 

For our last craft, cut some shamrocks out of green construction paper. Then using different shades of green construction paper, scrap book paper or tissue paper, cut small squares. Give each of your students a glue stick and let them glue on the squares. It’s an easy craft with a really artsy result!
