Irish or not, most of us get our green on come St. Paddy’s Day. We must say, it’s our favorite time of the year to savor a plate of corned beef and cabbage. And ’tis the holiday we board Oprah’s bread band wagon because we can’t stop noshing on the soda bread sort. But food deliciousness aside, this holiday celebrates a whole lot of Irish heritage, from leprechauns to lucky four-leaf clovers. To help with the festivities, here’s our own pot o’ goodies to make your St. Patrick’s Day a memorable one.

First, a greeting from our very own Chatty Leprechaun !

 

Here’s a writing hook for your students to reflect on why they’re lucky. Have them share their writing with classmates in small groups or as a whole group presentation.

 

 

And of course, there wouldn’t be a St. PaTRICKS day without some fun and games. Here are some activities for the kids.

Finally, we present St.Paddy’s Day-stamped recipes for you to get creative in the kitchen. We suggest the Spinach Pancakes (#7), the Chocolate Stout Cupcakes (#9), and the Watercress Soup with Whiskey Cream (#20).

 

Enjoy!

Cheers,

The Voki Team
