Saint Patrick's Day Art Project: Roll a Leprechaun Game & Elementary Art Lesson

Tame those mischievous leprechauns with step by step, directed drawing activities in elementary! Use my leprechaun art project for Saint Patrick’s Day to teach proportion. Imagine these Irish gnomes in your hallway alongside a writing prompt. The roll a leprechaun game makes perfect last minute emergency art sub plans, too!

Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop!

Art integration in the classroom is an effective way to reach and teach all students.

A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners make for an engaging St. Patrick’s Day art lesson. The included “how to draw a leprechaun” worksheet will guide their drawing. Moreover, it’ll boost their confidence and creativity.

And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan Saint Patricks Day art projects for elementary.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this Where the Wild Things Are art activity. All will motivate kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
