You can grab your own copy of The Story of the Leprechaun on Amazon. You can find all of these activities and more in this book companion: This requires students to read and follow the directions carefully. Since the story focuses on the leprechaun also being a shoemaker, I thought it would be fun to have students help design shoes based on written descriptions. You could also skip the spinner activity, take a class poll, and graph those results. Do you think leprechauns are sneaky or smart? Your students can find out with this spin, tally, and graph activity. I’ve also included a couple of activities to extend the text.
Once the students are finished with their writing, they can attach this leprechaun craft to their writing. I have included four writing prompts, but you can pair these writing papers with one of your own prompts. I also like to have my students respond to the text through writing. If a student lands on a space that is already colored, he still identifies the story element, but chooses a section of the leprechaun to color. The students take turns spinning, naming the story element, and coloring in that section of the spinner. Or, you can print off the black and white copies for each pair of students.
The colored copies can be used with the whole group to retell the story. If you focus on story elements, you can incorporate these spinners. There are also two graphic organizers to help students summarize the story.
I have comprehension questions to guide students through the text.
Today I’m here to share some activities you can use with this story in your classroom.Īfter reading any story, I like to make sure my students are comprehending the text. Do you know why the leprechaun decided to bury his gold at the end of the rainbow? Katherine Tegen does and she explains it all in her book, The Story of the Leprechaun.
