Kids will tell you, step by step how to catch a leprechaun:
First I will...
- think and plan
- look
- be quiet
- tip toe up to him
- walk softly
- sneak up
- hide
Next I will...- be camouflaged. I will carry a plant!
- make a trap
- dig a hole and put leaves on top
- ride a bike
- ride a motorcycle
- ride a kangaroo
- say, "Look over there!" then catch him in a net
- tie him in a rope
Last I will...
- tie him in a rope
- catch him in a net
- put him in a cage
- hold on tight
- never let him go
- say, "Where is your gold?"
- say, "Take me to the end of the rainbow right now!"
If you want to take it to the next level, for your advanced, TAG, upper grade, creative or willing kids...
You can have your kids describe their leprechaun. Tell how he dresses, walks, speaks, and acts.
Also, add interesting characters to the story, and unexpected settings.
Then answer thoughtful questions, such as: should you catch a leprechaun? And, once you've caught him and taken his pot o' gold, should you share some of the spoils with him?
Of course, you'll create a show-stopping display of your kids' work.
Got it! Just one last question: how will you spend your gold? On pretty shamrock-shaped paper and step-by-step lessons, lists, posters and task cards on How to Catch a Leprechaun, by any chance?
