St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and he has an amazing story! His story includes faith, fear, kidnapping, sacrifice, deliverance, and courage. I have collected several St. Patrick’s Day resources for you to make the most out of St. Patrick’s Day with your class. There are St. Patrick’s Day book recommendations, craft ideas, games, activities, snacks, and video clips for you to share with your class. Enjoy!

St. Patrick’s Day Book Recommendations

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day: History, Traditions, and Activities – A Holiday Book for Kids – St. Patrick’s Day is about more than just shamrocks and leprechauns! This engaging nonfiction book for kids explains the history, traditions, and customs of St. Patrick’s Day―and includes interactive activities that encourage kids to celebrate at home or in their communities.

Leprechaun in Late Winter (Magic Tree House (R) Merlin Mission) – Jack and Annie are on a mission to find (and inspire!) creative people. This time, Jack and Annie meet an Irish girl and go on a magical adventure that changes the girl’s life—she grows up to be Lady Gregory, who helped bring back the Irish legends, started a theater, and helped the Irish people regain both their heritage and their pride.

Leprechauns and Irish Folklore: A Nonfiction Companion to Magic Tree House Merlin Mission #15: Leprechaun in Late Winter – When Jack and Annie got back from their adventure in Magic Tree House Merlin Mission #15: Leprechaun in Late Winter, they had lots of questions. What are leprechauns? How do we know many of the old Irish stories? How do fairies spend their time? Who speaks the Irish language? Find out the answers to these questions and more as Jack and Annie track the facts. Filled with up-to-date information, photos, illustrations, and fun tidbits from Jack and Annie, the Magic Tree House Fact Trackers are the perfect way for kids to find out more about the topics they discovered in their favorite Magic Tree House adventures. And teachers can use Fact Trackers alongside their Magic Tree House fiction companions to meet common core text pairing needs.

The Kids Laugh Challenge – Would You Rather? St Patrick’s Day Edition – Would you rather all your family’s dishes come out of the dishwasher green OR all your family’s clothes come out of the laundry green on St. Patrick’s Day? Would you rather grow lucky four-leaf clovers out of your armpits OR have a lucky four-leaf clover stuck to the middle of your back where you can’t reach it? This book is packed with over 200 thought-provoking and hilarious St Patrick’s Day-themed ‘Would You Rather’ questions.

Quotes from St. Patrick

“I pray to God to give me perseverance and to deign that I be a faithful witness to Him to the end of my life for my God.”

– Saint Patrick

 “I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain.”

– Saint Patrick.

“I am certain in my heart that all that I am, I have received from God.“

– Saint Patrick.

Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

The middle of February is just around the corner, which means March is quickly approaching. If your kids are like mine, they love the “green” holiday and learning about the history behind St. Patrick’s Day.
