I AM LUCKY BECAUSE…

It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day and those lucky Leprechauns will be back! The Leprechauns aren’t the only lucky ones. What makes you lucky? Complete the worksheet and then make a mini book or a banner to hang in your house to share with your friends and family.

Materials:

• templates
• green crayon
• green marker
• scissors
• glue/tape
• white cardstock or printer paper
• green cardstock or construction paper (optional)

Steps:

1.) Print out templates (3 pages). If you want more circles, print a page multiple times.

Cut out circles (child if able to, if not adult).

2.) Complete the worksheet. Brainstorm with your child ways they are lucky and write down on worksheet. Fit as many as you can on the worksheet- no limit.

Note: I wrote the answers down on the worksheet, then my daughter copied them onto her circles.

3.) Choose 6 reasons to write on your circles, two from each category.

4.) Complete circles. On the first circle, “I am Lucky by” write your name. Then write your lucky reasons on each circle (6 total). Add color.

Note: We colored in crayon and wrote in marker, so that the marker would stand out. If child unable to write, an adult can write for them or assist if need help.

5.) Banner or Book? Decide which one you want to make.

The book can be made by stapling or using a hole punch with string (pictured below). For the front and back cover I added green cardstock to make more sturdy/add color.

For the banner, I used ribbon behind to attach it together and then hung. I also added green paper behind each circle to add more color.
