Literacy Snack Idea Leprechaun + Free Printable

March 14, 2018

It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day and there is a leprechaun on the loose in our classroom!

Grab our FREE printable and see our snack idea to use with Leprechaunt On The Loose. It's a great St. Patrick's Day-Leprechaun read-aloud to add to your collection.

We’re excited to be doing some fun activities for St. Patrick’s Day this week. We have a sneaky leprechaun on the loose right now.

He’s sure a sneaky guy! So of course this week for our Literacy Snack Idea Leprechaun + Free Printable, we are reading, Leprechaun On The Loose, by Marcia Thornton Jones.

A leprechaun is loose and is causing all sorts of mischief in the classroom. The leprechaun licks the green icing from the cupcakes, swims in the classroom fish tank, and lets the class hampster out of its cage, etc. There is only one classmate that can see and hear the leprechaun and is determined to catch him.

There are a ton of fun ideas you add to do with this book but for our snack today, we’ll be making a leprechaun trap!

Ingredients

Each student will need

1 full-size graham cracker

a handful of Lucky Charms cereal (I happened to find special St. Patrick’s day kind at Target)

1 pretzel stick

1 large marshmallow

Lucky charms

Assemble

This week with our snack, we’re mixing in a bit of STEM fun. Ultimately, the kids can create their very own trap for the leprechaun using the ingredients they’ve been given. To make the one that I share, the students will simply place the pretzel stick into the marshmallow and lean the graham cracker again the pretzel stick. Place your lucky charms under the “trap” to attract the leprechaun.

Free Printable

After the students have created their snack trap, I created a free printable for them to work on. They’ll be able to draw a trap of their own and write about it.

    Thank you for sharing! I found those lucky charms, and now I have an additional use for them in the classroom. I am excited to do this Tuesday (if school is still in session).

It describes some of Lincoln’s good qualities and what he may have been like.
