St. Patrick’s Day Classroom Ideas, Freebies, and More!

Are you looking for some fun and engaging St. Patrick’s Day Activities to do with your students?   This post has everything you need to plan and create a fun day or even week of St. Patrick’s Day themed activities.

I have so many freebies for you, too!

Update March 2025…I have created a week of NO PREP Digital St Patrick’s Day slides for you!  These St Patrick’s Day slides are a hit with my students and are great for morning meeting.  They are engaging and interactive.

You can grab a FREE sample which is similar to a day from my St. Patrick’s Day slides below.  Click to get a forced copy for your Google Drive!

These St Patrick’s Day partner puzzle cards are perfect for morning greeting, partner work, or a sensory bin.  They are super cheap, too!  Click to check them out. 

There are so many fun St. Patrick’s Day books out there.  Click to check out my favorites.

These FREE Lucky Banners are also a ton of fun and they are totally FREE!

I always display the banners with my Leprechaun “Wanted” posters.   I take a photo of each student wearing a leprechaun hat and have them complete the poster or banner (two versions are included).  The students always have a lot of fun completing them.
You could also have the students draw pictures of themselves as leprechauns.  It is super cute and easy to do.  The slide shown below is included in the free slides linked in this post and the posters can be found here.
If you are looking for no-prep St. Patrick’s Day literacy and math activities, check out this resource.

Here is a cute graphing activity.  It includes a leprechaun page topper.

If you are looking for fun math activities, check out these Common Core Aligned math centers.
Math is always better with food!  This graphing activity utilizes Skittles (a peanut free candy).
Here is a free graphing activity for your students.  It goes with Lucky Charms Cereal but you have to check that the marshmallows still match.  They seem to change them often.  I have used it and just told my students to put zero if there isn’t a certain marshmallow!
Here is another freebie for you!  I attach gold crayons (Amazon Associate Link) to my FREE St. Patrick’s Day HW Pass and give them out as a St. Patrick’s Day Gift.
Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you found some resources to help you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in school.  Please, pin your favorites from this post. Pinterest images:

📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read- 📚 Back-to-school magic starts with the right read-alouds!
These are my absolute favorite first-week books for building classroom community, easing those first-day jitters, and setting a positive tone from day one.
From Our Class is a Family, All Are Welcome, The Book of Rules, and so many more — these stories never miss.

Which one is a must-read in your classroom? Drop it in the comments and I will send you the links to my follow up activities!

How do you handle this situation? Do you put the How do you handle this situation?  Do you put the new student at the end of the alphabetical list or do you start over with a new one?
I know I am next for a new student (I have 24 kids and everyone else has 25), so I am holding off until the night before the first day.  I wish I could just wait but I like modeling where their bags and mail goes, both of which are set up using numbers.

True story: One year on the first day, I had a no show.  Then I was assigned a new student.  That student fit perfectly in the alphabetical order spot that was left.  I should have played the lottery or something.  What were the odds of that?!

5 things that are worth the money for your classro 5 things that are worth the money for your classroom!

1. A color printer.  We don’t have color printers at school and this has saved me from having to remember to print something at home. I brought in mine from home and then bought a new one for home. 
2. MacBookAir - This is my personal laptop.  I bring it home on weekends and holidays but for the most part I keep it at school.  I did need approval to get it on our district WiFi, which meant my phone could not also be on the WiFi.  There is a one device per teacher rule.
3. A lay-flat binder for my plan book, dismissal binder, and sub binder.  These save so much space and they are flexible. 
4. A laminator at school and a laminator at home.  It took me many years before I caved and bought another one but again, it saves me from remembering to laminate at home and I can also laminate during snack time and preps. Matte laminating is also worth the splurge.
5. My teacher toolbox! This toolbox has been with me for over 10 years, I just change out the labels to go with my decor theme.  Everything has a place and it keeps my desk organized.

🌻Sunflower Classroom Decor Room Tour🌻 This was my 🌻Sunflower Classroom Decor Room Tour🌻

This was my room decor before the pastels.  It worked well to incorporate my old farmhouse items (my decor theme before that) and as a bonus it made my Ukrainian students smile (the sunflower is the national flower of the Ukrainian).

Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for th Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for the upcoming weeks in a file tray above drawers for the days of the week.  This helps to keep you organized for the weeks ahead.
Save and use leftover colored copies as dividers. This makes them less bulky, than if you had used binder clips.
When you near the end of the week, pull the papers from the tray and sort into the weekday drawers and centers.
