St. Patrick’s day tricks for the classroom -

Part of the fun of St. Patrick’s day is the leprechaun mischief. Those leprechauns are quick, tricky little things, which is exactly what makes them so much fun. There are plenty of little tricks that you can play on your students to make the week just a little sillier. Here are some ideas;

Mess up your room
Leave a path of tiny green footprints (stickers or vinyl cut outs are perfect!)
Hide rainbows or little piles of glitter throughout the classroom
Use food coloring to turn liquids, like milk, green
Put green kool-aid in faucets so the water comes out green
Drape green crepe paper streamers across the room
Make a trail of Lucky Charms cereal that children have to follow to find a surprise
Put classroom supplies in unusual places
Swap cubbies or coat hook labels
Put all of your chairs in storage for the day

Have you tried anything else and blamed it on the leprechauns? I’d love to hear your ideas!
