St. Patrick’s Day Activity | Free Printable PDF
Use this FREE printable activity in March to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and support reflection! The PDF worksheet linked below provides students with a creative way to show appreciation and gratitude. First, students fill the rainbow with four things that make them lucky. Encourage students to think about big things (like health and school) and small things (like Roblox and pizza). After that, students can color the rainbow in their favorite colors.
Here are some ideas for using the worksheet to extend learning:
- Add it to your March literacy centers
- Use it to introduce a writing activity, “I am lucky because…”
- Have a class discussion about good luck charms
- Use it as an introductory activity for any St. Patrick’s Day lesson plan
This St. Patrick’s Day printable would also work well for fast finishers, sub plans, or as a rainy day activity. Download it for FREE today!
If you want to add a fun twist to the activity, provide students with “lucky” categories. School, for example, can be a category. Ask students to identify something about school they appreciate. There is space on the worksheet for four categories. I’ve listed additional category ideas below.
- Health
- Extracurricular activities
- Family
- Friends
- Travel
- Technology
- Food & drink
- Home
- Hobbies
Pair this activity with an “I Am Lucky” writing prompt to focus on expository writing skills. Use the rainbow worksheet as a brainstorming activity to kick off the writing process. Click HERE to see the complete lesson plan.
