First, I surprised E with Lucky Charms with green milk for breakfast and decorated the kitchen with green!Then, after school we played games, made a craft and ate a fun green snack:
I Spy something green. I had the five kids around a small blow up pool. I filled the pool with all kinds of green Dollar Tree items as well as Easter Grass instead of water. (Some of the green items included: sparkly ball, light up ball, foam shamrocks, shiny shamrocks, watering container, foam blocks, pencils, snake, insects, camo Easter egg, green Easter egg, gold coins, bubbles, green links, clapper, beaded necklaces, headband. All items were green or St. Patrick's day related except for the gold coins. I also had two different colors of green Easter grass to make the items harder to find.) I would shout out something they had to spy. The first person to find it, got a point. At the end we counted up points and they all 'won'! Therefore, they all got to pick out their favorite item from the pool.
We tossed coins into a leprechaun's green top hat. (In my classroom earlier that day, they tossed them into a pot.) Again, they were all winners and got a gift bag with lucky charms and a golden dollar sign necklace. I made these bags out of small paper bag lunch sacks. I cut zigzag on the top, glued a sparkly foam shamrock on front, and placed items inside! Simple and easy, but theme related. They then made necklaces out of Fruit Loops. I think they enjoyed eating them more than making them!
Last, I was originally going to make green pancakes, green eggs, and green milk; however, my mom decided to make a big dinner for everyone instead, so we are postponing the pancakes until later this week. Instead we made leprechaun floats. I wanted to make it with green sherbert and sprite, but since I had troubles finding green sherbert, we made it with chocolate mint ice cream instead. Most of the kids loved it! It was very unique tasting!
