I have always liked this Holiday. In the 90’s I was teaching after school ESL and this is an old picture of what we did with the children.

Now, let’s start with the resources that I have prepared.

Puppets. Make puppets with the clovers to review colors.

Teacher: What color is this?

Students: red!

Teacher: It’s a red clover.

Worksheets. Have the students complete their worksheets to review color words.
Then place the worksheet in a clear plastic sheet. Students can trace the words using whiteboard markers and then erase. Save for future worksheets.

I made these colored plates once. I just colored a paper plate in a different color to do sorting. I am recycling them to sort the clovers.

I love the scrabble letters that I made for a product months ago. I am putting them here, you can use them for every single lesson just for making words or for making a crossword.

Or use the color letters printables to make the color words.

Use the writing pad or notebook for writing the color words.

The bottle caps printable is free. I made it years ago and have used it a lot. Here is the link. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Number-Bottle-Caps-2155938

More worksheets. Students color and trace the words in the worksheet. Then, cut and paste on their notebooks and write a sentence. 

Or the students can color and cut each item and glue them alphabetically.

Listen and color worksheet.

Teacher: Color their hats green, black and yellow.

Teacher: Color his shirt orange and her blouse orange.

Teacher: Color their shoes black.

Review colors and numbers at the same time. Say the color of the numbers in random order.

Teacher: Number seven is orange.

Then, have the students write the color and number words next to each picture.

They can cut each number and dictate the order to put them.

Teacher: six, ten, nine, seven.

I found these cute gnomes images and I had to create something and thought that it could fit for prepositions. Students can color them and make a gnome village per group. I used toilet paper rolls, paper towels rolls and carton eggs. I glued the gnomes onto craft sticks and then made a slit onto the carton egg and placed the gnomes and the rest of the pieces.

I used them for prepositions. Students listen and place the gnomes and other items as they listen or they can give the instructions and the other groups follow.

Teacher: The gnome is next to house number 1.

The gnome is behind house number 3.

The gnome is in front of house number 4.

The clover is behind the yellow house.

A craft. I grabbed a black plastic plate that I had around the house, cut the middle of the plate to make a wreath. I glued all the pieces.

Let’s dress the leprechaun. Dictate the color for each clothes piece.

That give directions for gluing them.

Teacher: Color the hat green and the belt is black with yellow.

Glue the socks on the leprechaun. 

More clothes and body.  Color the pictures and label the parts of the body and the clothing pieces.

And flashcards! Yes, again… use for many games for those dreaded 5 minutes left.
