Leprechaun Fun and a Freebie

I have a naughty leprechaun in my classroom. Each morning Seamus has played some kind of trick on my owlets. They refuse to even try to make any fake gold because they like his tricks! They like finding the green sparkles he always leaves behind. They have written up some elaborate schemes for catching him, but I think they just want to be friends!

The first morning he spilled my coffee on the floor, then he left shaving cream at each person's place. Yesterday he left string that was attached at one end to a pencil and the other end  to a bag of Lucky Charms. They got to give their small motor skills a work-out as they wrapped the string around the pencil to find the treat at the other end. Tomorrow I'm thinking it is time to toilet paper the chairs.




We've tried trapping him with a tape and today we thought we might be able to attract him to a field of clover. We're all hoping that he'll like the company of other leprechauns.




 I was so glad to see Barbara's post yesterday. Her idea caused me to hear the words we love to hear..."This is the best day ever!" Go check out Barbara's post and follow the link to get your own leprechaun coloring page. Barbara, I'm sending you a little fun in an e-mail! I'm happy to share it with our other friends, too! Leave me a comment and your e-mail if you'd like a copy, too. If you'd rather buy it, you can HERE!!

  2. Jenny! You're just the sweetest! Thank you. I 'm loving the cute leprechaun activities you sent. I'm going to use the little book and the periods/capitals sheet tomorrow.
    Glad to see your kids are having so much fun. What a hoot!

  3. My kids just brought their traps in today and they are SO excited about the leprechaun business that is going on. I haven't come up with all the shenanigans yet but I'm sure it will be epic to them...haha.
    Thanks for the ideas!
