St Patrick’s Day Activities for First Grade

St. Patrick’s Day themed activities can be a great way to make learning fun and festive during March. Are you looking for engaging St. Patty’s Day lessons ideas for your 1^st grade students? These St Patrick’s Day activities for First Grade are perfect for Math and Literacy lessons.

Sentence Building

Why not teach sentence structure with a twist? These sentence building activities feature rainbows, pots of gold, shamrocks, and leprechauns just to name a few.

Students simply cut out and glue the words in order to build a sentence. They also color the picture and write the sentence themselves.

Here’s what some teachers had to say –

“Great for seasonal bell work or extra reading rotation work”.

“It is a good way for the kids to learn sentence structure and it is easy to read for emergent readers”.

Why use these activites?

The simple truth is this – teachers are time poor. There is barely enough time in the day to lesson plan or organize activities. The last thing teachers need is more complication and time-sucking tasks.

That’s why I always make sure that my activities are no prep for teachers and you can simply print and go. I also make sure that the activities are easy for students to complete. Because that also means less stress for teachers.

Finally, who needs more mess? Glitter, paint, and googly eyes all over the floor is a nightmare. Crafting doesn’t always have to be intricate and messy.

Other than the sentence building worksheets, you can grab all the crafts in this post in one place! Check out the St. Patrick’s Day Craft bundle here.

I hope you enjoy these St Patrick’s Day activities for First Grade during your March lessons!
