10 Ways To Use Your Leprechaun Name In Your Homeschool or Classroom

1. Leprechaun Introductions:

• A great idea for kicking off the day is to have each of your kids introduce themselves using their leprechaun name. They are great icebreakers, set a festive tone, and will definitely get a laugh!

2. Leprechaun Stories:

3. Leprechaun Art:

• Get creative with an art project. Have students draw or paint their leprechaun characters, complete with outfits and personality traits that match their names.

4. Leprechaun Name Tags:

• Create name tags with their leprechaun names. They can wear these throughout the day to maintain the St. Patrick’s Day spirit. As an added challenge, have everyone refer to each other by their leprechaun name. Have a prize of chocolate gold coins at the end of the day for those who didn’t slip up.

5. Leprechaun Treasure Hunt:

• Leprechauns are famous for their tricky riddles. Challenge students to come up with riddles or jokes related to leprechauns and St. Patrick’s Day. Here is a great list of riddles if you need some inspiration!

9. Leprechaun Snack Time:

• What Saint Pat’s Day celebration could be complete without green food? Think green treats, rainbow-colored fruit skewers, or even a “pot of gold” pudding.
