This St. Patrick’s Day activities and writing craft resource includes history minilessons, a reading passage with fill-in-the-blank vocabulary bank, a grammar worksheet, and a pot of gold craft with 3 different writing prompts. Students write “How I Caught a Leprechaun”, “In Exchange for 3 Wishes I Let Him Go”, or “If I Had a Pot of Gold…”

Two quick and easy minilesson teach your students about the history of St. Patrick's Day, and when people began celebrating it in the U.S. The second minilesson defines a "leprechaun" and gives a short history of leprechauns found in old Irish fables.
