Follow the Leprechaun
by Jacqueline Schiff
It's raining on the leprechaun,
(raise hands over head and wiggle
fingers down)
I like this rain a lot!
(pantomime clapping hands)
I followed in his muddy tracks,
(walk fingers across one arm, from elbow to wrist)
They led me to his pot.
(join fingertips to form a pot)
It's raining on the leprechaun,
(repeat rain motion)
His footprints led me to the gold
(point to feet)
That he hid inside his pot.
(cup left hand and cover it with
right hand)
Dear Leprechaun
Writing Write letters to that poor leprechaun who is always trying to find a good place to hide his gold. Kids are experts at finding good hiding places and they love to share their ideas.
