Description
Writing for St. Patrick’s Day
This st. patrick’s day writing activity gives 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade writers a spring pack full of real reasons to write. Children choose from eight cheerful writing prompts about parades, wearing green, rainbows, clover fields and the first signs of spring. Along the way they practice putting events in order, using order words like first, next, then and last, planning a story with characters, a setting, a problem and a solution, and writing a complete story of their own.
How to Use This Writing Pack
Start with the four step picture cards that show how to plant a shamrock: dirt, seeds, water and a shamrock plant. Children cut them out, put them in order and write the steps on the First, Next, Then and Last page. Next they pick one of the eight prompt cards and plan a story on the Story Map, then write it on shamrock writing paper with a box at the top for a picture. These march writing prompts activity pages fit a writing center, a small group or a whole class lesson, and the cards can be used again all month. A 2nd Grade practice worksheet asks children to number six how-to steps for making a shamrock card and to write one kind sentence of their own.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 8 St. Patrick’s Day writing prompt cards
- 4 shamrock planting step cards
- How to Plant a Shamrock writing frame (first, next, then, last)
- My Story Map planning page
- Shamrock writing paper with a picture box
- 2nd Grade practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the step cards, the prompt card list and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Putting picture cards in order before writing helps children plan clear sentences.
- A story map shows young writers that every story needs characters, a setting, a problem and a solution.
- A fun holiday theme gives children something real and exciting to write about.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Plant real clover seeds in a cup and let children write about what they see each day, read a finished story aloud during a class author share, or bind the writing pages into a little March book for each child to take home. The st. patrick’s day writing activity also makes an easy sub plan or a calm writing station during a busy holiday week.
