St Patrick's Day Picture books

St Patrick's Day picture books - activity for teachers:

Get some St Patrick's Day picture books on tape or CD from your library for use during read-aloud time.

Make or ask your students to create several paper shamrocks.

Write a purpose on each one.

One might ask for the story beginning, middle and end. Another might ask for three characters, or three things learned about the setting, three different types of sounds heard, etc.

After listening to the story and filling out the shamrocks, go over the answers together. You'll be amazed on how much can be learned from one picture book!
