St. Patrick’s Day Math and ELA Activities

It’s always fun during the month of March to have themed activities in the classroom. You can easily switch out your math and literacy centers for St. Patrick’s Day fun. Here are the different themed centers I used in my classroom:

Math Center Activities

What’s the Rule?

Shamrockin’ Number Recognition (30-50)

Blarney! (make 17 or not equation sort)

Literacy Center Activities

Leprechaun Language (noun, verb, adjective sort)

St. Patrick’s Day Spellers (inventive spelling)

If you really want to impress your students, you have to try this food coloring observation activity. Your students will be so impressed when you become a color mixologist and all the colors of the rainbow magically appear before them. You can find the printable below here.
