Lenny The Leprechaun

we celebrated st. patty's day early due to it being today, saturday, and us not holding class. so, what i did was get those gold chocolate coins, put them in a painted pot and send my kiddies on a scavenger hunt.



i had a bunch of different brown bags filled with different colored gummy bears.







at each scene, there were leprechaun foot prints...all you do for these is paint the part of your hand by the pinky, curl it up in a fist and stamp it. then you just use your fingers to make the toes. super simple and the kids thought it was hilarious...and believed it.












once we gathered all of our clues and all of our colors, we were led to the last clue which was a giant poster board. the poster board had colored dots on it that spelled out "stage." this was where the gold was hidden.

once they found the board we then had to take our "rainbow" candies out and match them with the dots on the board. once all the candies were placed, i helped them sound it out and they ran for the stage when Lenny left their treasure. :)

it was so fun seeing how almost freaked out they were at the idea that a leprechaun was in their school. :) i love holidays...minus the sugar rushes. :) but so well worth it!



happy teaching!
