St. Patrick’s Day Printable Activities

February 17, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

Sometimes it’s nice to have some quick and easy activities on hand, at home or in the classroom. These St. Patrick’s Day printables include games, scavenger hunts and more with a holiday twist to fill time or do with kids when they’re away from school.

Paper Trail Design has a cute printable St. Patrick’s Day I Spy game, which is in black and white so kids can also color the different items as they find them. Create Simple has another I Spy page that’s meant to be in color if you prefer that, or you can do both!

These color by number sheets from Tot Schooling have different ranges of numbers to give kids practice identifying all the numbers 1-10. So one page uses numbers 1-6, one 3-8 and on 5-10. So smart.

Print, cut out and fold this fun and funny joke teller (aka fortune teller or cootie catcher) for the kiddo who loves to tell jokes. It’s from Bren Did. I think my favorite is: What do you get when you cross a four-leaf clover with poison ivy? A rash of good luck!

Happy Healthy Impactful has a cute and simple scavenger hunt, with clues that lead to places that should be in everyone’s home or apartment. You can pick what prize they find at the end but in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day it should probably be some kind of treasure like chocolate coins.

There’s a seven page activity pack you can download from Hello Creative Family that includes coloring pages, a word search, I spy, a maze, a pattern recognition printable and a build a leprechaun activity.

And Simply Full of Delight has a cute collection of printable St. Patrick’s Day activities, too, from a hat to worksheets, jokes, coloring pages, bingo cards, word scrambles and so much more. There’s something there that everyone will enjoy!

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
