St. Patrick’s Day is coming soon, and this FREE St. Patrick’s Mini Bundle will help you plan your lessons and maybe even introduce your preschoolers to new activities.

This St. Patrick’s Mini Bundle includes twelve pages with seven different activities, which include literacy and math. You can grab it at the end of this post.

St. Patrick’s Mini Bundle

The best way to teach anything to your preschoolers is by using fun, hands-on activities that keep children engaged and interested. The activities included in this mini bundle will help your preschoolers develop multiple skills, such as:

Concentration and Memory – because they need to focus to get it right.
One-to-One Correspondence and Creating Sets – when they have to match the pictures with a similar image on their page to glue it.
Sensory Development and Visual Discrimination – because they use their vision to do the activities and touch when they feel and manipulate objects.
Eye-hand Coordination – when they see and do the activity.
Social Skills – when they take turns and communicate with other children.
Fine Motor and Pre-Writing – when they use the small muscles on their hands and fingers to do the activities.
Vocabulary, Phonological Awareness, and Letter Knowledge – when they remember or learn the names of the pictures and the beginning sounds.
Counting – when they must color the fairies and the appropriate number of squares.

These activities can be used in many ways, such as:

Small group activity.
Literacy center option.
Writing center activity.
Take-home activity.
Quiet area option.

Materials Needed:

These easy-to-prep activities require a handful of materials. These are:

St. Patrick’s Mini Bundle (FREE at the end of this post).
Printer.
White cardstock.
White paper.
Laminator.
Laminator pouches.
Scissors.
Glue.
Clothespins.
Dot-to-Dot, dry-erase, and regular markers.
Pencils and crayons.

St. Patrick’s Beginning Sounds

Print the wheel and graph on white cardstock and laminate them for multiple uses. Provide some clothespins, and invite your preschoolers to select a picture on the wheel, mark it with a clothespin, observe the letters next to each of the images on the graph, and mark the one that represents the beginning sound, using a dot-to-dot marker.

St. Patrick’s Tic-Tac-Toc

Print the board and chips on white cardstock. Cut out the chips and laminate everything for durability. Invite a couple of preschoolers to play the game.

St. Patrick’s Cut & Glue to Match

Print multiple pages on white paper. Give one page to each child. If the child is ready, he or she can cut out the dotted line squares with the pictures. If the child is not prepared, then cut them out for him or her.

Invite the children to find the matching picture on the rectangles and glue the matching one next. The child must do the same with every rectangle until they finish them all.

St. Patrick’s Tracing

Have your preschoolers trace the lines with their fingers. That will give them a sense of how the lines go. Don’t forget to tell them to go from left to right since that is the correct direction to write.

Print one copy for each child on regular white paper. Print some copies on white cardstock and laminate them if you want to use them multiple times.

Preschoolers can trace the lines with a dry-erase marker if the page is laminated or a regular marker, crayon, or pencil if it’s not.

Count the Fairies and Color the Graph

Print one copy for each child on regular white paper. Invite them to observe one fairy at a time and count how many they find on the rectangle above. Once they count each fairy, they must fill in the correct number of squares using a regular marker or crayon to complete the chart.

St. Patrick’s Trace and Fill

Children will practice their alphabet knowledge and pre-writing skills by tracing the letters with a marker, crayon, or pencil, starting with the letter A, and writing the letter on the next bubble, following the correct order of the alphabet. Ask them to name each of the letters as they go.

Order by Size

Print the page on white cardstock. Cut out the shamrocks and laminate them for durability. Invite the preschoolers to organize them from bigger to smaller and vice versa. Remember to consider each child’s developmental level when deciding how many shamrocks to give them.
